Founder & President
Joe C. Thomas
PE — Alabama · Florida · Georgia  |  FL CGC  |  CBI

Joe was commissioned into the U.S. Army in 2004, serving five years as a Combat Engineer Officer — including a 15-month deployment to Iraq. After leaving active duty, he built one of Florida's most versatile structural engineering practices, now licensed across Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.

He has conducted bridge inspections and load rating analyses in nearly every U.S. state, with particular depth in Florida. His structural engineering practice spans residential design, transportation structures, and forensic analysis — supporting owners, contractors, and attorneys throughout the region.

Joe remains active in the U.S. Air Force Reserves in a leadership capacity, most recently returning from a deployment to Kenya where he oversaw infrastructure expansion to triple a base's original design capacity.
