First Vice President

Kevin Wood (Tidewater Chapter)

In April 2019, Kevin celebrated 25 years at Pennoni Associates (formerly PHR+A). Those years and seven more were spent in Hampton Roads, Virginia prior to being in Richmond for six years.

The early part of Kevin's career started in commercial construction with McDevitt and Street, in Richmond, and utility surveys with So Deep Inc., in Tidewater. Each of these gave him a better understanding of what he now deals with on a day to day basis. Kevin's educational background includes work in the school of Mass Communications at Virginia Commonwealth University, the Civil Engineering Technology program at J Sargent Reynolds Community College, and the Survey program at Tidewater Community College. Kevin married his best friend, Joanie, in 1988 and has two daughters, Madeline and Rebecca. Kevin enjoys strong ties with his Virginia Beach church family.
