Already operating within the transportation space, McAdams looks to deepen and enhance its offerings and build upon successful client engagements. Letchworth will apply additional focus and vision across all of McAdams’ metros as they further develop transportation-related services.

He most recently served as Carolinas Area Manager for the international engineering firm WSP. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering from NC State University and serves as Chairman of the Johnston County Planning Board.
Letchworth is a student of the transportation industry and its evolution and believes McAdams is an ideal fit for him to continue to solve client challenges.
“Funding of transportation is shifting, and municipalities will play a larger role in developing solutions locally than ever before,” said Letchworth. “We solve problems as designers and engineers, and I look forward to developing creative and impactful strategies to further invest in our relationships with our clients here at McAdams.”
Letchworth has spent his career in North Carolina and brings local, regional and national relationships and connections to the firm.
