It All Starts With
Leadership & Culture.

Core Values

We hold ourselves to six core values that guide our actions and decisions.

Humility – We believe that true success comes not from arrogance or ego, but from a humble attitude of learning and growth. We strive to listen to others, admit our mistakes, and continuously improve.

Go the Extra Mile – We are committed to delivering exceptional value and service to our clients and colleagues. This means going above and beyond what is expected, and finding creative solutions to challenges.

Teamwork – We know that no one succeeds alone, and that collaboration is essential to achieving our goals. We value diversity of thought and perspective, and work together to support each other and our clients.

Willing Attitude – We approach each day and task with a positive and proactive mindset. We are willing to learn, try new things, and take on challenges with enthusiasm.

Gratitude – We recognize that we are fortunate to do work that we enjoy and to have the support of our team and clients. We express gratitude and appreciation for the opportunities and successes we have.

No Excuses – We take ownership of our actions and results, and refuse to make excuses or blame others. We hold ourselves accountable to high standards and strive for excellence in all that we do.

Joey C Wilson II,
PE, RLS

President & CEO

Eldest son of company founder Charles Wilson, Joey began accompanying his father to the office and to job sites at the age of 10. As a teenager, he worked summers and any chance he could at the company until he graduated from Tennessee Tech University with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering in 1996 when he joined the firm full-time. Today, as President, he oversees all aspects of Wilson & Associates’ operations.

Joey earned his professional Registration in Land Surveying (RLS) in 2000 and his Professional Engineering license (PE) in 2002. He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Highway Engineers, the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers, the Tennessee Association of Professional Surveyors, and the Tennessee Road Builders Association board of governors.

Joey has over fifteen years of experience in engineering and computer-aided drafting and design. He has reverse-engineered more than fifty sets of TDOT roadway and bridge plans for use in establishing project control, rights of way, clearing limits, and checking for errors. In the last five years, he has worked with DOTs in Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina to make design changes or improvements to roadway plans that will more efficiently facilitate their construction. Mr. Wilson has also produced three-dimensional computer drawings from original and final cross-sections to establish final quantities on some twenty TDOT projects and several out-of-state highway projects.

A father of three children (who can often be found in the W&A offices, following in their dad’s and granddad’s footsteps), Joey is also an active member of Franklin First United Methodist Church, where he has served on the board of trustees, the Visioning Committee for Integrated Church Communities and the Mission Committee. He has participated in several mission trips to Biloxi, Mississippi, to help rebuild the town’s communities after Hurricane Katrina, and he continues to participate in local and regional mission projects.
