Our Team

Brian Degen, P.E.

I’m a proud fifth-generation resident of Grand Island, Nebraska, where I’ve built both my career and my family life with my wife, Lisa, and our children, Rylei and Jack.

After graduating from Grand Island Senior High, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Since becoming a licensed Professional Engineer in 2012, I’ve completed more than 170 stamped projects, reflecting both technical expertise and a commitment to quality.

With over 18 years of experience, my work has centered on delivering reliable, cost-effective site designs. While my primary focus has been public infrastructure and land development, I’ve contributed to a wide range of civil engineering projects, always striving to balance practicality with long-term value for the clients I serve.
