I’m not one to look back often. I’ve always believed that the best view is forward—toward what’s next, what’s possible, and what we haven’t yet imagined. But today, on WSB’s 30th anniversary, it feels right to pause and reflect.
Thirty years. In the grand scheme of business, that’s still young. But what a ride it’s been.
WSB started with five founders and a vision—to build a firm focused on our staff and clients that could deliver better projects, foster deeper relationships, and grow into something bigger than any one of us. That vision wasn’t just about size. It was about impact. It was about creating a place where people could build careers, where clients could trust us to solve their toughest challenges, and where innovation wasn’t a buzzword—it was a way of life.
Over the years, we’ve grown from a local firm into a national presence. We’ve welcomed new talent, acquired incredible companies, and expanded our capabilities across engineering, planning, environmental, and construction services. We’ve built highways and bridges, revitalized communities, and helped shape the infrastructure that connects people to opportunity.
But none of it would have been possible without our clients, our partners, and our staff. You’ve shaped WSB into the firm we are today. You’ve trusted us, challenged us, and grown with us. You’ve helped us stay bold, authentic, passionate, optimistic, and visionary— values that continue to guide us every day.
And we’re not slowing down.
We’re investing in technology, expanding our reach, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We’re committed to delivering better projects—smarter, faster, and more sustainably. We’re building the national firm we always believed we could be.
So today, I want to say thank you. Thank you to our clients for believing in us. Thank you to our partners for walking alongside us. And thank you to our staff—for your talent, your heart, and your unwavering commitment to excellence.
Here’s to the next chapter. The future is ours for the making.
