Robert Welt, PE

Founder

Bob Welt began his engineering career as an assistant plant engineer for Anaconda Wire and
Cable. His entrepreneurial skills were evident as he started a consulting engineering firm,
Creative Design Inc., which grew to 28 members in 11 years. In 1983, the call of the Pacific
Northwest caused Bob to relocate to Spokane, where he served first as associate engineer and
then chief electrical engineer for a local consulting firm—and moved next door to Jim Moore,
where they struck up conversations over their backyard fences. Thus, the two would partner a
year later and join forces to form MW Consulting Engineers.
