Celebrating Rutherford + Chekene's History
We celebrated R+C’s history with some very special guests, the R+C alum who helped build the firm in its early days. Founded in 1960, our teams engineered by hand —slide rules, carbon paper, typewriters — with the same discipline and excellence that define us today. Bill Holmes, who joined R+C in 1965, shared how the arrival of the HP 9830A revolutionized calculations (and even payroll). New tools. Same standards. What hasn’t changed since 1960 isn’t the technology, it’s the people. Curiosity, rigor, and commitment to doing it right.
