“When I reflect back, I think of the early years in a small, one-room office with plastic folding tables and a few home computers. I had a business license, but I hadn’t created a company, I had created a job. At the time, I didn’t even know the difference.” - Curtis Patterson, Founding Principal
As Patterson Engineering, Inc. celebrates 20 years of structural excellence, we recognize the origin of our story: a journey that starts with Curtis Patterson. What began as a single-person endeavor has developed into a dedicated and talented team across the Southwest. This growth was made possible by his determined focus and a work ethic destined for success.
Curtis states that reaching 20 years is an important milestone. It shows we’ve adapted and remained buoyant through ups and downs, but it’s not the finish line. Continuing to advance in our industry through new technologies and process improvements remains at the forefront of Curtis’s ambitions and will continue to shape what lies ahead.
