Celebrating the Season at RWB

As the final quarter of the year wrapped up, our team stayed hard at work—but we also made time for a little fun and connection along the way.

October – Halloween Festivities

In October, our staff showed off their creativity with festive costumes, Halloween-themed workstations, and some impressive culinary creations. It was a great way to take a break and enjoy some lighthearted fun together.

November – Learning and Gratitude

November brought a new milestone as we hosted our first-ever in-house CPR certification classes—giving our team the opportunity to build life-saving skills. Later in the month, we gathered for our annual Thanksgiving Potluck lunch, a tradition that reminds us of how much we have to be thankful for.

December – Holiday Cheer

To end the year on a high note, we held our annual Christmas Party at the beautiful Dallas Arboretum. It was a festive evening filled with celebration, laughter, and appreciation for another successful year.

We’re excited to introduce the newest additions to the RWB team! From BIM coordination to technology design, this talented group brings diverse experience, energy, and enthusiasm to our growing firm.

Justin Trog – BIM Coordinator & MPE Designer

Justin Trog recently joined our BIM team as a BIM Coordinator and MPE Designer. He brings nearly three years of experience in industrial and manufacturing environments.

Interestingly, Justin’s career began in a fabrication shop in Cedar Hill, TX, where he worked as a welder. From there, he transitioned into CNC manufacturing—producing everything from aerospace components to pressure washer nozzles. Eventually, his path led him into 3D modeling and Revit setup, where he discovered his passion for design.

Emilio Salazar – Electrical EIT

As our technology group continues to expand, we’re pleased to welcome Emilio Salazar. Emilio is an engineer-in-training (EIT) who recently earned his electrical engineering degree from the University of Memphis.

During his time there, he not only excelled in academics but also won a national championship playing for Memphis Tiger Rugby. Additionally, he served as a trade HVAC technician with the Air National Guard—showing his commitment both in and out of the classroom.

Terri Brown – Plumbing Designer

We’re thrilled to welcome Terri Brown to our plumbing design team. With 14 years of industry experience, she brings deep knowledge and strong design expertise to her role.

Outside of work, Terri and her husband enjoy antique shopping, always on the lookout for unique finds and timeless pieces.

Hasan Alhasoon – Technology Designer

Hasan Alhasoon joins RWB as a technology designer. He holds a degree in mechanical engineering and, over the last few years, has focused specifically on low-voltage systems.

Because of this specialized experience, Hasan brings valuable insights to our growing technology team.

Brannon Beaton – Mechanical Designer

Joining our mechanical group is Brannon Beaton, who brings nearly four years of industry experience. He earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Lamar University in 2017 and also played college football.

Notably, Brannon recently passed the F.E. exam and is now an EIT, working toward his P.E. license. In his free time, he enjoys gaming and is always up for playing any sport.
Fun Fact: Brannon grew up playing sports with Patrick Mahomes—yes, that Patrick Mahomes—who was his quarterback at Whitehouse High School.

Welcome to the Team!

We’re excited to have each of you on board and can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make. Welcome to the RWB family!
