Evans Nwankwo Email & Phone Number

Evans Nwankwo attended Texas A&M University, working part-time as a security guard at a Holiday Inn during semesters and as a cook on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico during summer and Christmas breaks. In 1982 he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Building Construction Engineering and joined Turner Construction Company. For 12 years he climbed the corporate ladder at Turner, earning his CPE (Certified Professional Estimator) designation and becoming an American citizen along the way. But, like his entrepreneurial father and mother before him, Evans dreamed of owning his own business. In 1993, one week before marrying fellow engineer Catherine, he resigned from Turner and started Megen Construction Company in the basement of his home. The name Megen is a combination of a tribute to his mother Margaret (Meg) and his own initials (en). Today, Megen Construction is respected for its commitment to quality, integrity, diversity and teamwork. The award-winning firm is involved in most of the Greater Cincinnati region’s most important and unique projects. Evans is a member of the American Society of Professional Estimators, the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber Board of Directors, the City of Cincinnati Building Development and Permit Center Advisory Committee, the Cincinnati Rotary Club and the Ohio Commodores. He is founder and board chair of the NuWay Foundation, and sits on the boards of the Africa Foundation USA, Bridges for a Just Community, Cincinnati State Foundation, the Fine Arts Fund, the American Red Cross Cincinnati Area Chapter and the Salvation Army of Greater Cincinnati.
