Tod spent 20 years in various leadership roles in the Army Reserves including a deployment to Iraq in 2004 as a company commander prior to starting H2B in 2005. His time in the military heavily influenced his leadership style and his passion to give back to fellow veterans through H2B’s work with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the PTSD Foundation of America.

​In his spare time, Tod enjoys watching his five children play volleyball, lacrosse, and high school and college baseball.
 
“My favorite project at H2B has been the Port Commerce Business Park, a 72-acre commercial subdivision, that I personally designed the infrastructure for in 2013 and that H2B just now finalized the design for the final lot 10 years later. Going from personally designing most projects to supervising numerous young professional engineers as they design the final lots within the subdivision has been rewarding to watch the next generation of H2B project managers tackle.”

Lane joined H2B in 2014. He began his career as a field engineer in the construction industry where he learned how to make design drawings come to life. Lane uses his background in construction, his seasoned design experience, and project management efficiency to help the project teams provide smooth project delivery for our clients. In 2021, Lane took on the role of Operations Manager for H2B and has helped develop and implement systems and processes that are integral to H2B’s success as we continue to grow and serve our clients.
​
In his spare time, Lane enjoys working in his yard, actively volunteering at his daughters' schools, and cooking the next recipe that caught his eye on Bon Appetit.
 
“My favorite project is The Brookwood Community's Stephen C. Beasley Center for Learning located in Brookshire, Texas. At the time, this was one of H2B's largest projects with several miles of new roads, drainage improvements, as well as the Center for Learning located on the 485 acre campus. Brookwood Community provides an educational environment that supports meaningful work, builds a sense of belonging, and awakens genuine purpose in the lives of adults with disabilities.  Through design, I was able to play a small part of the profound impact that Brookwood has on our community and for those that call it home." ​

Travis grew up in College Station and graduated from Texas A&M before moving to Houston to begin his engineering career. In 2018, he moved back home to Aggieland to open the H2B College Station office. Travis  enjoys spending time with his wife, Cortney, and three kids, Elliot, Bellamy, and Elise. He is actively involved in his church and enjoys CrossFit during his free time.

"My favorite project is the YMCA Langham Creek Miracle League Fields located in Cypress, Texas. This project is particularly special to me because it was one I did early in my career at H2B. I had just become a member of Langham Creek YMCA and volunteered, with my wife, to assist with the Miracle League Games. At the time, the fields were not designed for the use of the games. Navigating the bases was challenging for the kids participating, many whom had varying abilities, wheelchairs, and other mobility assistance. I was given the opportunity to design something better that would better serve these children. The project would provide modifications to the outdoor space, add new accessible baseball fields, among many other improvements! Directly serving my community, serving children with varying abilities, and serving all those involved on the project makes the YMCA Langham Creek Miracle League Fields my all-time favorite project!"
