Company History
Located in San Antonio from day one, Barber and Barber was originally founded in
1998 (under the name Barber Associates) by Robert D Barber, P.E. as a freelance
consulting business in the solid waste industry. The next year, Robert
incorporated the business and renamed it Barber & Barber Associates when his
wife, Carolyn, assumed the role of Treasurer. Since its inception in 1998,
Robert and Carolyn have devoted themselves to high quality work and personal
attention to all clients, which has led to consistent growth.
In 2005, BBA extended into a new market by hiring Nathan Barber, a professional
engineer with experience in process and specialty engineering. This acquisition
diversified BBA’s service offerings to clients and strengthened our contribution
to the engineering industry. Also in 2005, BBA hired Marisa Barber, Nathan's
wife, to handle the books (she's the reason we stay afloat!).
After a decade of success, in 2008 Barber and Barber Associates hired Jon Pyle
as Director of Business Development, to help take the business to the next
level. With the same unwavering commitment to excellence upon which the company
was founded, Barber and Barber plans to expand even more in the years to come.
BBA Celebrates 11 Years!
Why does everyone make bigger deals about years divisible by ten? Every year should be a celebration!
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production
or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system,
planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to
do is not doing.
Thomas Edison
“The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that
progress is made one step at a time. A house is built one brick at a time.
Football games are won a play at a time. A department store grows bigger one
customer at a time. Every big accomplishment is a series of little
accomplishments.
