At LandDesign, promotions are more than professional milestones. They recognize how our people advance the quality of our work, the strength of our culture, and the future we’re building as the firm grows. We’re proud to announce the promotion of three new Directors in our Orlando office, Carrie Read, PLA, Jason Rostek, PE, and Jimmy Monica, PE.
These promotions celebrate individuals whose leadership and commitment to Better Always shape how we mentor the next generation, deliver a high-quality client experience, and position LandDesign for success in new markets. LandDesign President Rhett Crocker says, “These promotions reflect the trust we place in our people and the leadership they bring to their offices. They are a testament to the impact each of them has made, while staying grounded in the values that define LandDesign.”
