Culture

Two decades ago, Mark Gallager, Geoffrey Goll, and Dr. Stephen Souza, left the corporate culture to start a new company focused on the management and restoration of water resources. 

They were employed by a small business named Coastal Environmental Services when it was bought out by the large engineering firm Post Buckley Schuh and Jernigan (PBSJ) in 1996.

None of them really fit the “big company” mold, and so the highly regarded Wetland Scientist, top-notch Professional Engineer, and well-respected Aquatic Ecologist formed Princeton Hydro; a company with a mission true to their environmental roots and consistent with their moral compass.

After moving from their home office to Lambertville, New Jersey in the same building as the original River Horse Brewing Company location, the company began to grow. At times they struggled to make ends meet, but by supporting each other and celebrating their accomplishments, the team pushed forward.

Eventually, they grew so much that they moved down the road to their own office space in Ringoes, and then branched off with offices in Southern New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Maryland.

Since then, Princeton Hydro has grown from a small idea operating out of a living room to a 60+ person qualified small business with six office locations in the Northeast region.
