A New Chapter: Garcia Cocha Engineering
In 2023, Brian Seyferth & Associates transitioned to new leadership under Luis R. Cocha and Lilian M. Garcia, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. With over eight years of experience at the firm, Luis expressed his desire to carry forward the legacy built by founder Brian Seyferth.
