Schmidt founded SCHMIDT & CO. in the fall of 2012 following over thirty years of success in the design and construction business. Decades of experience working with leaders have reinforced the belief that all leadership skills are the fruit of a person’s inner world – their character and values. Rooted in this vision, Schmidt comes alongside individuals, teams and organizations to cultivate their unique genius within.

A third-generation engineer and fourth generation entrepreneur, Schmidt received his Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1979. Prior to founding Overland Partners Architects in 1987, Schmidt worked for several large construction companies.
