Larry is a member of many organizations including Eta Kappa Nu National Electrical Engineering Honor Society, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, and the National Fire Protection Association. Not able to stay away, Larry was ready to resume his engineering career after 13 years of teaching. During his internship, he was introduced to electrical power systems engineering and was instantly hooked.Īfter working a number of years in the utility industry and consulting engineering business, Larry decided to leave the engineering industry and teach mathematics to help young, budding engineers get a good start in their careers. In college, Larry was given the opportunity to intern with a local utility company who also awarded him a partial scholarship to study electrical engineering. Larry Jones has always wanted to be an engineer. Larry Jones, PE Associate | Senior Electrical Engineer John’s favorite quote is from Winston Churchill, “Success is not final failure is not fatal it is the courage to continue that counts,” because he believes that one is never finished in life and even if you fail, at least you tried. John has two kids, a son who who graduated from The University of North Texas with a degree in graphic design, and a daughter who works for Mothers Milk Bank of North Texas, a nonprofit that collects breastmilk from healthy, nursing mothers who have a surplus and is dispensed to premature and fragile infants without access to their mother’s own milk. He also volunteers for Skills USA, teaching high school-aged kids, who compete in local, state and national competitions, about land surveying. John is an active member of the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. “Cooking is very relaxing to me and I feel like I’m creating something good out of raw ingredients that may or may not taste good by themselves.” John’s favorite place to visit is New York City because he loves the different cultures, food, and architecture it has to offer. If he wasn’t a land surveyor, John would be a chef. Outside of work, John loves cooking, football and karaoke. In high school, John held the rank of Master in the Fédération Internationale des Échecs (World Chess Federation). He has provided field and office supervision on land surveying projects for public and privately funded projects, including the DFW Airport, City of Fort Worth, TXU Electric, Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., Trinity River Authority, Federal Aviation Administration, TxDOT, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Railtran, and Fort Worth Transportation Authority.
