DPR started its first year with a total of 11 professionals. In addition to "D, P
and R," the original crew included Sandy Grayson, Michele Leiva, Eric Lamb, Peter
Salvati, Jim Washburn, Mark Bartley, Brad Des Jardin and Jim Dolensix of whom
are still with the company today. Much like the hundreds of projects DPR has
completed over the years, the company has grown at a breakneck pace, with 10
regional offices established in nearly every major technology center in the U.S.
that serve customers throughout the nation. DPR also reached the $1 billion mark
in less than 10 years and last year posted revenue of $1.58 billion with more
than 2,000 employees.
When asked what he considered to be the most
successful moment at DPR, Doug answered, "We've had a lot of great successes,
but I can't think of one defining moment, because we're not done yet. As the company
continues to move forward, new opportunities constantly arise. One way we
measure success, however, is by not letting employees down and keeping people
within the company challenged and moving up."
DPR exists to build great
things with integrity, enjoyment, uniqueness, ever forward, and the right
people have been, and always will be, the foundation of DPR. |
