Patrick Crosby serves as the visionary of the firm. He sets the direction of the company and acts as general marketing guru. Client and employee relationships are crucial to him. He maintains an open door policy and is in constant communications with clients to ensure our team meets or exceeds their expectations on every project.

Patrick is an innovator and leader in the seismic design field. His niche in the company has always been his enthusiasm and knowledge of seismic technology. Pat has traveled the world chasing earthquakes. After major earthquakes such as Italy, Mexico, Turkey, Japan, and Taiwan he toured each of the sites to learn what technology failed, what technology was successful, and what new information the earthquake itself would tell us about structural design. With this knowledge, Patrick led the engineering community in the implementation of passive energy dissipation devices (dampers), buckling restrained brace frames, fiber reinforced composites, and shock transmission units, which has resulted in safer buildings at a reduced cost to our valued clients. This knowledge and technology was incorporated into our seismic retrofit designs including the historic Frank Lloyd Wright Marin County Hall of Justice, the Caltrans District 4 Headquarters Building, the historic Ford Assembly Building, and the King County Courthouse.

Patrick was recently invited to join the U.S. State Department's Industry Advisory Group for the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations, serving an advisory role concerning industry's latest concepts, best practices and innovations relating to OBO's mission of providing safe, secure and functional facilities throughout the world. He recently served a six-year term on the National Board of Directors of the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) where he championed the collaborative benefits of the design-build delivery method, and he continues his advocacy and contributions to the design-build industry on a local level.
