Leadership

History

Gessner Engineering was founded in 2003 by Johanna and Thomas Gessner. The company started with a 14 team member team located at the College Station office and the Construction Materials Testing Lab in Brenham. We attribute our survival then and now to the wonderful team members and clients with whom we have had the good fortune to work. We have had the opportunity to be a part of unique projects which have challenged us and helped us to learn and grow. In 2015, Jeremy Peters became a partner, having built the civil engineering department and fostered the start of the surveying department. As our team continued to grow we were challenged with the need for definitive values, strategic direction, and our overall purpose. Working toward defining these and roles throughout the firm has lead us to the leadership team we are today.
