Fisher’s Can-Do Perspective
David’s and Sean’s “can-do” attitude has helped clients achieve their goals. Thousands of satisfied clients have been helped by the Fishers. Starting from a tight nucleus of 5 team members, the company has grown to over 65 staff members. The company employs a diverse collection of professionals who offer consulting and technical solutions for a wide range of environmental, hazmat, geotechnical, and hydrogeological projects.
When Phase 2 and 3 Environmental Site Assessments became a part of Fishers desires to serve, David and Sean found it difficult to source drilling rigs for their client’s needs within the time frames they required. Problems, however, are meant to be solved! They decided to purchase a drilling rig for their internal projects. Soon one rig expanded to a fleet and so another division of the company evolved.

And for him, no job has ever been too small or too large. It’s simply about adapting to the challenges. Corporate success depends on helping his clients achieve their dreams in a creative and practical manner.
