History

Pharr Engineering was founded by C. Keith Pharr in 1972, and started offering services on January 1, 1973. Mr. Pharr’s philosophy was to provide a quality engineering product that exceeded all of the client’s expectations and that could be constructed in a cost effective manner. Pharr Engineering continues to believe in that philosophy.

Mr. Pharr transitioned out of ownership of the firm in 2003. Three of the senior Project Managers, Michael F. Williamson, M. Wade Hunnicutt, and Leslie H. White took ownership of the company, while Mr. Pharr stayed on the staff as a Senior Consultant. Shortly thereafter, David P. Bacon was brought on board as a Principal, adding his wealth of experience in the public transportation sector to the company. After more than 40 years of engineering service, Mr. Pharr retired in 2005.

In 2011, Mr. White left the company and a new entity, Pharr Enginnering Associates, LLC was formed. Mr. Williamson and Mr. Hunnicutt are Members of the LLC and Mr. Bacon remains on staff as a Senior Consultant.
