Eric Bacon, P.E.

Eric is a longtime Tahoe-Truckee local who has lived in the area since the age of two. He grew up immersed in the construction industry, working at an early age with his father, who is a licensed contractor and licensed surveyor. Strong ties to the community kept him close during his college years; he attended the University of Nevada, Reno for his engineering degree and worked his way through college by framing houses, surveying, and giving cross-country ski lessons. Eric began working as an engineer for Shelton & Associates in 2000, and bought the firm in 2007.
