“I’m honored to have the chance to serve in this new role and build upon the legacy of service to our clients that Steve Semones and our team have established over the last 20 years here in the New River Valley,” said Taylor. “Balzer and Associates is very much a family and I’m extremely proud of the work we have done in this community that I call home. I’m eager to get to work helping even more of our clients and neighbors achieve success.”
When Steve Semones, the New River Valley office’s Regional Director, was asked about James, he said, “From the time he started, James strived to not only be an exceptional engineer, but an exceptional consultant. This speaks to his responsiveness to clients, thoroughness in his due diligence and designs, and always advocating on our client’s behalf.”
