Matthew W. Anderson, PE
President / Founder

Matt founded MWA Engineering in 2015, building on more than three decades of engineering and construction experience. He began his career performing hands-on inspections and engineering design, then broadened into construction and estimating while working with a major general contractor — experience that still shapes the firm's practical, builder-aware approach today. Matt went on to earn his Professional Engineer license and served as Vice President of Engineering before launching MWA. Along the way, he has built business strategies at every scale, from startup service lines to multi-million-dollar operations, pairing technical depth with real leadership. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Ohio Northern University and maintains Professional Engineering licensure in 20 states.

T.J. Deane, PG, PE
Senior Engineer

T.J. brings more than a decade of cross-disciplinary experience to the MWA Engineering team, with a background that bridges civil engineering and the geosciences. He holds both a Professional Engineer license and a Professional Geologist registration — a combination that gives him a particularly grounded perspective on how structures, soils, and site conditions interact. At MWA Engineering, T.J. is responsible for structural design and project management, and he is spearheading the firm's monitoring services. His work draws on hands-on experience of site assessment and structural evaluation. He earned his degrees from the University of Maryland and holds a master's in geoscience from Penn State. Known for being responsive, thorough, and genuinely easy to work with, T.J. fits right into MWA's focus on practical, cost-effective solutions and lasting client relationships.
