Tom Edwards

Mr. Edwards began his career in the field of civil engineering with the Texas Department of Transportation in 1985. After working as an assistant county engineer (Smith County, Texas) for a number of years, he began his continuing trek into the world of tribal transportation. Mr. Edwards started with the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1996 and remained there for nearly five years. In October of 2001, as an officer in the US Navy Reserves, Tom was recalled to active duty during Operation Enduring Freedom.

Upon his return to civilian life, Mr. Edwards has been immersed in nearly all aspects of tribal transportation such as funding, road and bridge design, long range transportation planning, road inventory, and environmental issues. He is trained and experienced in a number of civil engineering areas including site planning, parking lot design, roadway and bridge design, and transportation planning. Mr. Edwards dedicates himself to staying informed on current tribal transportation legislation and funding matters. His knowledge of BIA and FHWA policies and procedures is unmatched.
