about us

Our History

Not all firms are created equal. PGA’s founders, Hiren Patel and Gordon Greene, knew that the best way to ensure that they would always enjoy heading to work was to launch their own firm! They envisioned PGA as a company that would support premier professionals tackling challenging projects, while feeling appreciated for their work, and having fun along the way. Since 2011, the firm has grown from two to 100+ staff, strategically expanding our service lines and geographic footprint across Florida. Even as we grow, the focus remains on maintaining a supportive work environment, a work hard-play hard mindset, and overall, a company that staff and their families are proud to be a part of.

PGA is Open for Business!

It took a lot of planning, and a whole lot of heart, but when PGA launched in the summer of 2011, its founders, Hiren Patel and Gordon Greene, had a clear vision of the kind of company they wanted to build, the quality of work they wanted to produce, and the caliber of people they wanted to work with.
