ENR Texas & Louisiana is honored to name its 2021 class of Top Young Professionals. This annual awards program honors 20 individuals under 40 years of age in each of ENR’s 10 regions who have shown exceptional leadership and service throughout their career.

Firms from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas submitted 69 entries into this year’s contest—the most submitted to any of ENR’s regional editions. These individuals were then judged by three primary criteria: industry experience and education; career and industry leadership; and community service and involvement.

Our 2021 class of Top Young Professionals (in alphabetical order by first name) are named below. Please be sure to read more about these rising young leaders in the February 1 issue of ENR Texas & Louisiana.
