No one likes to brag about their business, but if you HAD TO . . .
Our record speaks for itself!

We learn from our mistakes, especially in business. Give us some words of wisdom.
As an engineer and business owner, I have had to learn that building and maintaining relationships and marketing our services is as important (maybe more) than performing the work.

Share the best advice you ever received.
I received this advice from a Group Vice President years ago and even though I do not follow it all the time, I have come to believe that it is a sure path to success.
“Make sure that you that get back, in some way, to everyone who contacts you within 24 hours.”  That used to be by phone and email.  Now it has evolved to social media as well.

Describe your perfect day off.
Spending the day with my grandkids.

What might someone be surprised to know about you?
That I am not the founder of Williams Engineering. I purchased it from the founder, Tom Williams in 2000.  I have often wondered if Tom sold it to me because of my abilities or because of my last name???
