GFDS combines the experience, stability and proven capabilities of an older, well-established engineering firm with the creativity, enthusiasm and client-centric culture of a far younger one.
Over nearly half a century, GFDS distinguished itself as one of California’s most capable structural engineers, working on projects of virtually every type.
Kris Johnson joined the firm in 1990 and quickly proved himself to be an exceptionally skilled engineer and project manager. His appreciation of fine architecture, aesthetic sensitivity and creative abilities helped GFDS become one of Northern California’s most highly respected residential engineers.
Upon becoming managing principal, Kris began transforming the firm from a structural generalist to a residential specialist. Today, the firm is one of the most sought after structural engineers for high-end residential projects on the West Coast and Hawaii.
