October of 2004, my wife Stephanie and I started Inland Valley Engineering, Inc. I wanted to reduce company size and travel and focus more on my children’s education, sports and other activities. Inland Valley Engineering, Inc. would target just a four county market and primarily public works. Starting a new company was very challenging. Through hard work and a dedication to provide the best service to our industry, Inland Valley Engineering, Inc. has become a featured small business Trenchless contractor in Southern California. Inland Valley Engineering, Inc. has been awarded the Honor Award from the American Public Works Association and the Outstanding Award from the American Society of Public Engineers.
