Our Story
In 1998, after working for another South Texas consulting engineering firm for 13 years, Frank A. Ferris, P.E., made the decision to venture out on his own. Mr. Ferris left that firm and formed Ferris Engineering, Inc.
After working in the construction industry for 7 years building water utility plants and spending another 9 years working with a consulting firm specializing in water and wastewater, in 2001, Mr. David H. Flinn, P.E., joined Ferris Engineering, Inc., and the firm became Ferris & Flinn, LLC.
Mr. Jose D. Medina, RPLS, began our surveying operation in 2003 and became a partner in 2007. Upon being fully vested in Ferris & Flinn, LLC, the principals made a collaborative decision to rename the firm to include Mr. Medina, thus we became Ferris, Flinn & Medina, LLC.
