Founders

Bowen Collins & Associates was founded in 1997 by Larry Bowen, Mike Collins, and Craig Bagley. The diversity of their professional backgrounds helped develop a company that would provide exceptional engineering to public and private sector clients in the region. As the company continues to grow both in size and services provided, we are grateful to each of them for their dedication, perseverance, and great leadership which continues to be the premise of the company’s core values.
