The Mid-Ohio Valley’s premier full-service architecture and engineering firm is expanding and bringing its clients additional resources. Barry Ingham, Architect and Jason Dingess, P.E. are the two newest members of the Pickering Associates team.
Barry Ingham brings over 40 years of experience with him to Pickering Associates. Ingham received his Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Ohio University. Formally a partner at VCIG Architects (Vargo, Cassady, Ingham & Gibbs), Ingham forged a large part of his professional career right in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Ingham, a registered architect in West Virginia and Ohio, says he looks forward to working with his new Pickering Associates team. “I’ve been very fortunate to have developed a client base throughout my career that values the attention to detail I’ve provided and often returns for architectural service on subsequent projects. I’m hopeful that my joining Pickering Associates will be beneficial for all parties involved, and I look forward to collaborating with Pickering professionals.”
Jason Dingess, P.E. brings ten years of professional experience to Pickering Associates. Dingess received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from West Virginia University in 2004 and worked as a mining engineer and environmental manager before joining Pickering Associates. As a life-long Mountaineer (a native of Boone County, WV), Dingess says he’s ready to get his professional career with Pickering Associates going. “I’m excited to be here and to help the company. I’m looking forward to getting started and showing everyone what I can do.”
For 25 years, Pickering Associates has delivered unparalleled architecture and engineering solutions to its vast client base. Vice-President of Operations, David Boggs P.E., says the growth of the company signals good things for Pickering Associates and the community. “It’s cyclical. We’re seeing a need to bring more professionals to our team because the areas and industries we work within are expanding. The addition of Mr. Ingham and Mr. Dingess means we’ll be able to serve better our existing clientele and capture some new opportunities, as well. We’re excited to see how our community receives them and what new and innovative ideas they bring to Pickering Associates.”
