Choctaw Engineering, Inc. has been doing business in the Fort Walton
Beach area for over 32 years. Robert Carlson formed Choctaw Associates,
Inc. in 1973 to provide surveying and engineering services to the
local community.
In 1982, J. Stephen Dieter, P.E., R.L.S. purchased the company and
renamed it Choctaw Engineering, Inc. In 1988, Choctaw Engineering,
Inc. merged with Joseph A. Schudt and Associates, Inc. and began doing
business as JAS Choctaw. George S. (Spence) King, P.E., C.F.E.A.,
who had previously managed the office for 11 years, purchased the
company in 1995. The current President and CEO, Mark C. Siner, P.E.,
purchased the company in 2002.
The company is locally owned and maintains a solid background from
its many years of work in the region. The company has functioned as
the City Engineer for the Cities of Valparaiso and Destin in the past
and as the Engineer for the Okaloosa County School Board.

The Florida Institute of Consulting Engineers honored Choctaw Engineering,
Inc. for an innovative design incorporating a geofabric retaining
wall in Niceville, Florida. The design allowed for maximizing the
available land for construction while preserving and protecting adjacent
wetlands from impacts. We were awarded an honorable mention for this
design in 1998 for the Small Firm Category of the competition.
In 1999, Choctaw Engineering, Inc. also received an Honorable Mention
Award for the Mitchell Center Parking project, a 5.51 acre grassed
parking area for a sports arena on the campus of the University of
South Alabama, located in Mobile, Alabama. An environmentally sensitive
parking area was designed in lieu of the "sea of asphalt"
typical of parking areas of this size. The project included grassed
parking areas, storm water management facilities, and protection of
several large oak trees.
