Two men looking at blueprint

One of the reasons I made the decision to join HGI in 2001 is because HGI’s core values of Service, Competence, Honesty, Integrity, and Respect resonated with my own. Since then, I have seen HGI and its people exemplify these core values over and over again, and I have never had a reason to even consider moving to another fire protection engineering firm.  I am now privileged to be named President of this outstanding organization and I am excited about our future as we continue to serve our clients and grow our business.”
