My History
After a six-year career in the US Air Force, Jon began his career with Tierra West in October 1995 as an AutoCAD Technician. He was responsible for drafting site layouts, grading and drainage plans, and plan and profile sheets. As he gained experience Jon decided to pursue his engineering at the University of New Mexico while continuing to work at Tierra West. After graduating in 2004 Jon was responsible for grading and drainage analysis, master plan layouts, and traffic signal design. In 2006 he earned his Professional Engineer License in New Mexico and in 2009 was licensed in Texas.
During his time at Tierra West Jon has worked on New Urbanist type developments, completed numerous Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), and worked on several projects where design of off-site improvements within TXDOT or NMDOT right-of-way was required. As a Project Manager, he has presented information about projects in front of numerous Development Review Boards, Environmental Planning Commissions and other jurisdictional bodies as needed to obtain project approvals.

What Clients Say
Tierra West has provided me with excellent civil engineering work for my 200+ unit market rate new apartment projects in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Given their history of working in these markets for many years they have the detailed knowledge of the economics, markets, government, and land use that has benefited me in my development and construction of these projects. They are in the top tier of engineering firms that I have worked with during the past 35 years of developing real estate in the United States. I highly recommend them to developers, investors, and any groups that need engineering and consulting services.

Ron Bohannan and his firm Tierra West LLC have been instrumental with design and engineering of two very successful subdivisions for me. Their attention to detail, relationship with city staff and extensive background in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho have been very useful through the years on projects Tierra West has designed.

Tierra West has our highest recommendation for all aspects of civil engineering and land-use planning and consulting. They remain our sole source provider for these scopes in New Mexico, and we are currently exploring opportunities to engage them in the other three states in which we do business, Arizona, Montana, and Idaho.
