Preston Royster, PE

“With my construction background and passion for building things, engineering was a natural choice when it came time to decide on a path of study in college. As engineers, we change the world one project at a time. Whether a school, residential community, or commercial development, seeing a project come to fruition is my favorite part of the job.”
