In the early days of my career, my focus was on real estate development and marketing. In 1981 I formed The Stan Agee Company, a full-service commercial real estate company. In the mid-80s, the real estate industry started collapsing and I knew I needed to shift gears fast. I became the exclusive manufacturer’s representative for Pieresearch. I quickly developed a passion for this industry and the people who work in it! A few years later, I bought Pieresearch and became the owner. My entrepreneurial spirit has driven me for the past 40 years! Giving back and serving my community is at the core of my personal and professional beliefs. I strive to help this industry grow through product innovation and continued education...We all learn from one another! Over the years I've had the pleasure to serve on numerous professional and non-profit organizations:• University of Texas at Arlington - Civil Engineering Activities Committee - Created the Stan and Jan Agee/Pieresearch Endowed Scholarship• National Council of Structural Engineers Association and State Associations of Structural Engineers• Member of Structural Engineers Association of Texas since 1991, State Treasurer and Board Member for eight years, and Dallas chapter Treasurer and Board Member for 10 years• Association Drilled Shafts Contractors• American Concrete Institute (ACI) – past president North Texas Chapter and Board Member• Association of General Contractors – Heavy Highway• Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) – former Secretary of the Manual of Standard Practice and past member• Construction Specifications Institute – Fort Worth Chapter – past Treasurer and Board Member • Tarrant County Economic Development Commission – past Member• Tarrant County Commissioners Representative to the Regional Transportation Commission• YMCA Arlington – former Board Member• American Cancer Society – former Annual Crusade Chairman• Big Brothers – Big Sisters of Arlington – former Board Member• Young Men for Arlington – Past President and former Board Member• Arlington Alumni – Past President• Arlington Noon Optimist – Past President• Arlington Chamber of Commerce – former Board Member• Arlington Planning and Zoning Commission - Past member and Chairman
