​Company Philosophy

Practical Physics approaches every project with integrity, experience, and innovation. Customer-driven pragmatic solutions are the goal. We choose to be a group of consultants rather than a traditional model of having employees. Since 2003, this has allowed the flexibility to adapt to economic challenges that have driven others from the region or out of business completely.
