Keith Purvis, PE, who leads Neel-Schaffer’s Mississippi Transportation discipline, presented the award.
“In my 34-year career I have not worked around another young engineer who is a better example of these qualifications,” Purvis said. “Reid is a valued member of our staff at Neel-Schaffer, but more than that he is a great asset to the engineering profession.”
