Our History
JMT has evolved significantly over the past four decades.
Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson (JMT) was originally founded as a
Professional Association of partners and associates in 1971 by
Charles Johnson, Michael McCordic and Bruce Thompson under the name
of Johnson, McCordic & Thompson, P.A., in Silver Spring,
Maryland. The company focused on the areas of planning,
engineering, and surveying for residential and commercial projects.
In 1978, a second, similar private development office was opened in
Fairfax, Virginia.
In 1979, Fred Mirmiran joined the partnership with the goal of
expanding into the public works market by focusing on
transportation engineering for Federal, state and local public
agencies. In 1980, JMT expanded its public works market into
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the name of JMT was
changed to Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson. Throughout the 1980s
and early 1990s, JMT developed into a multi-modal transportation
firm providing infrastructure improvements for:
- Highways and Bridges
- Aviation
- Rail and Transit
- Marine
- Pedestrians/Bicyclists
From the mid-1990s, JMT continued to diversify our markets to
include services for:
- Buildings and Facilities
- Water/Wastewater and Utilities
- Federal Programs
- Information technology
Today, JMT provides consulting services to a varied client base
of public and private entities. This diversification of
markets and services has resulted in considerable geographic
expansion, which has allowed JMT to provide services across the
United States.
Our Accomplishments
We have provided planning, design and construction
management services for many major award winning projects in the
United States, as highlighted in the Project
Portfolio and Awards &
Honors sections of our web site.
JMT has improved our ENR Ranking for the "Top 500 Design Firms
from No. 464 in 1995 to our current 2011 ranking of No. 96.
The founding philosophy of the firm, exceeding client
expectations with the highest quality of work, continues to be the
key element of our success. A successful project is achieved by
thorough analysis supported by individual attention and the
extensive professional and technical experience of dedicated
employees.
We at JMT are proud of our 40 year history, and we look forward
to the next 40 years.
