As we continue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tatum Smith Welcher Engineers, it is essential to reflect on the enormous contributions of our firm’s founder David Tatum. Although David retired in 2022, his impact on the company and regional AEC industry is still felt today.

David founded Tatum Structural Engineering in 1996 following several years of working as a structural engineer for other companies. Starting with only two employees, the company would grow into one of the largest structural engineering firms in the state of Arkansas and having the national project footprint of today. David’s expertise in structural engineering paved the way for success, but his mentorship and personal character truly brought the company to this milestone. We are grateful for his leadership and personal investment in all who have worked at TSW these past 30 years.
