Avalon Engineering is proud to announce an exciting new chapter in our history as we celebrate our 45th anniversary. Brendan Sloan has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Tom Giles, who founded the company in 1980.
Tom's vision helped shape more than 4,500 projects across Southwest Florida, including notable Cape Coral landmarks such as Cape Coral Hospital, Tarpon Point and Cape Harbour. His legacy extends beyond engineering, as he's been a dedicated community leader and champion for Southwest Florida.
"Tom built an incredible foundation here, and we're excited to start the next chapter with the same spirit of growth, energy and ambition that has defined Lee County for decades," Sloan said. "This region has a bright future ahead, and I'm proud to lead a team that will play a powerful role in building it."
Brendan Sloan brings deep local roots, technical expertise and a clear vision for the future of Avalon Engineering. As a longtime member of the Avalon team, he oversees major initiatives, such as the Cape Coral Grove Town Center, Bimini Basin and Seven Islands projects. Brendan's commitment to innovation, collaboration and community will guide the company into its next phase of growth.
As we move forward, our mission remains unchanged, approach each engineering and planning project with excellence, honesty and commitment. We’re excited for what’s ahead as we continue growing and serving Southwest Florida.
