ESOL's executive management team is formed by:

Philip A. Tritico, P.E., President, Chairman

Lester W. Davis, Executive Vice President, Finance

Gary M. Hougardy, Vice President, Information Technology

Philip A. Tritico, P.E., President, Chairman

Mr. Tritico is founding President and Chairman of ESOL. He is a seasoned executive with 35 years of experience in the engineering and construction industry. His primary experience is in consulting engineering and construction management in the civil & environmental fields. Previously Mr. Tritico built his own consulting practice, Industry Advocates, and ran the Houston office of Delta Environmental. Mr. Tritico's professional experience includes partnering, litigation support, and advisory commission service. He specializes in engineering&construction management, infrastructure capital, risk management, market analysis, business planning, strategic/preemptive consulting, legal support and de-commoditizing engineering services. Technically, Mr. Tritico is highly specialized in soil construction, ground risk, and the earthen fill elements of shallow foundation infrastructure in all civil and environmental developments. Mr. Tritico is considered by geotechnical experts as the industry's foremost professional in soil construction, compaction control and associated forensics.

Throughout his career, Mr. Tritico has studied the one and only area of civil construction where the industry has no direct connection, control or verification of engineering design requirements: cohesive soil construction. This historic gap in practice has caused decades of dysfunction in construction and ground movement after construction. Mr. Tritico has filled this gap between the geotechnical sector and the designers and builders, and solved the consequent problems during and after construction. He identified the problem sources, defined the markets, defined the solutions, and developed ESOL's engineering and construction control tools. He conducted ESOL's market study, developed its business plans, and built ESOL's core group and management team. Mr. Tritico led capitalization, service design and software developments. Phil holds a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering from Texas A&M University with graduate studies at the University of Houston. Mr. Tritico is a recipient of the John B. Hawley Award, awarded to him in 1995. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in Texas. He is married to Helenanne and has four children.
