History of the Firm: Honoring the tradition of the pioneers of our profession, we proudly claim a direct connection to the early days of mechanical and electrical engineering in the construction industry in Texas. In the 1930s, R. F. (Reg) Taylor, a pioneering mechanical and electrical engineer in the Southwest, practiced in Dallas, Texas. He moved his practice to Houston, Texas, in 1936, at the close of the Texas Centennial construction. Ross Zumwalt, a Dallas native and 1933 graduate of the SMU Co-op School of Engineering, remained in Dallas and practiced with M. D. Darrah for a time. Mr. Zumwalt was joined in 1938 by P. N. (Peanuts) Vinther, a 1921 A&M graduate in electrical engineering. Together, they began a partnership practice offering engineering services for mechanical and electrical systems in buildings. Zumwalt and Vinther opened a branch office in Lubbock in 1956, with Weeks Hall as an early project at Texas Tech. Jack Roberts, who joined the firm in 1948, became the first Resident Engineer. Norris Fanning was hired that same year as a working ME student at Texas Tech. John Fanning joined the staff in 1962 as a working EE student at Texas Tech. Norris Fanning was named Vice President in charge of the Lubbock office in 1970. By mutual agreement, the Lubbock Branch of Zumwalt and Vinther was purchased by the employees in 1974. The new firm, organized as Fanning, Fanning and Agnew, Inc., continued the practice of consulting engineering, with Norris becoming President and John serving as Vice President. Scott Fanning joined the staff in 1976, becoming the first of the second generation. When Mr. Agnew withdrew in 1987, the name was changed to Fanning, Fanning & Associates, Inc. In December 2017, Scott M. Fanning was promoted to President, and Doyle F. Fanning was promoted to Secretary-Treasurer. The following year, in January 2018, Allen K. Ware was promoted to Vice President, leading the Electrical Department.
