DRIVEN BY PURPOSE. UNITED BY MISSION.
YEAR IN REVIEW
What an amazing industry to be in. We have the opportunity to build the quality of life for so many through safe and reliable infrastructure.
BRET WEISS | PRESIDENT & CEO
A Message from Our CEO
These past 30 years have been a lot of fun and very challenging at the same time. One consistent thing in my life at home and on the road is to start my day with a workout. I like to think that building a business is similar to interval training. I love the acceleration that happens in times of growth or development of new service lines. Followed by a leveling out to perfect that part of our business—all while continually moving upwards and to the right.
Life is not about settling for fine or good enough but for striving to be the best you can be. I am sure that I have failed more in my life than I have succeeded, but those failures taught me more about who I am and what I can achieve than if I had easy success. When WSB first started, we had chose a different path so that we could differentiate our go-to-market strategy. That approach became our culture and exists today. We don’t want to be “corporate.” We are entrepreneurs who say “yes” to challenges and opportunities and who embrace the chance to lead and create.
Our 2025 Year in Review focuses heavily on our mission. At WSB, we believe the future is what we make of it and we exist to build what’s next in infrastructure—the places, spaces and systems that support our lives. This requires us to change, adapt, and innovate as our communities do the same. Throughout the following pages, you’ll see how year after year; we continue to adapt to the world around us, say yes to opportunities and remain focused on being a firm that our clients and partners trust with their complete infrastructure needs.
I was at a concert recently where “The Man in the Arena,” a famous passage from Theodore Roosevelt’s “Citizenship in a Republic” speech was quoted. This quote has always stuck with me—I have a poster of it framed behind my desk. It was delivered many years ago
but still rings true today. We live in an era of critics, but in the end, we and our partners are in the arena creating, building and growing.
What an amazing industry to be in. We have the opportunity to build the quality of life for so many through safe and reliable infrastructure.
In 2025, WSB celebrated many milestones beyond our anniversary. The Year in Review gives us the chance to reflect on all the projects that our clients and communities entrusted us with over the past year, along with the achievements and advancements from our staff. This tells the story of how we carry out our mission every day, from small moments to significant milestones.
I have been thinking about Lou Holtz lately and the lessons he shared with all of us who were fortunate to play for him. My favorite being, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” This is not about words but instead about actions. We intend to double down on our mission by continuing to envision and build what’s next in infrastructure. We remain committed to our core values. We remain passionate, bold, authentic, visionary, optimistic and a whole lot hungry! It is a great time to be in our industry, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Be your best!
Bret Weiss | President & CEO
DRIVEN BY PURPOSE
Our mission isn’t just words—it’s the force behind everything we do.
Our 2025 Year in Review is about one thing: our mission. It drives us, shapes our vision, and reminds us why our work matters. It’s our rallying cry—a call to unite, innovate, and deliver impact.
Our services may be broad, but every action ties back to that mission. It’s the thread that connects everything we do and the reason we keep pushing forward. We celebrate how that purpose has fueled progress and set the stage for what’s next.
The future is uncertain. But people have always shaped the world in which they live. And when people work together, almost anything is possible. We believe the future is what we make of it. Fortunately, we’re in the business of making. Our actions speak for themselves. We are a collective of critical, creative, and empathetic thinkers with ambitious and disruptive ideas. We partner with communities to help them forge ahead. We exist to build what’s next in infrastructure – the places, spaces and systems that support our lives.

30 Reflecting on 30 Years
A MILESTONE THAT SHAPES OUR FUTURE
Celebrating 30 years was more than a milestone—it was a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and why our mission matters. Throughout 2025, we honored our history with staff stories, a commemorative newsletter, and a special anniversary video that captured the projects and people who shaped WSB.
Looking back reminded us that our success is rooted in innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to transforming communities. As Bret Weiss, President & CEO shared,
We started out with a stubborn optimism— believing that innovation wasn’t just a buzzword, but something you practiced every single day. Those hopes shaped the DNA of WSB, and it’s the reason we’re still here, stronger than ever.”
As we enter the next decade, we carry these lessons forward— continuing to lead boldly, build strong partnerships, and create solutions that make a lasting impact.
“WSB has a culture of working together, not against each other. I love that we are always finding ways to incorporate each other into projects and celebrating our success together.”

This restoration project along a scenic stretch of the Root River in southeastern Minnesota addressed severe erosion that threatened trails, habitat, and public safety. Flood damage and sediment buildup since 2011 had disconnected the river channel from its floodplains, directing flows against the banks and degrading riparian and fish habitat. WSB partnered with Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center and local agencies to design and implement comprehensive restoration and riverbank stabilization solutions that balance environmental protection with recreation.
Our approach included detailed geotechnical analysis, hydraulic modeling, and innovative stabilization and habitat techniques to restore the riverbank while preserving the natural character of the river system. Project implementation incorporated riprap armoring, vegetative restoration, and strategic grading to reduce erosion and improve long-term resilience. Since completion, Eagle Bluff has developed educational lesson plans on ecological restoration, water quality, and habitat monitoring to support environmental outreach and inspire future outdoor and environmental careers.
Mississippi River Gateway Regional Park
BROOKLYN
PARK, MN
WSB partnered with Three Rivers Park District to lead a decade-long transformation of one of Minnesota’s most iconic regional parks along the Mississippi River. Beginning with an extensive master planning process and robust community engagement, our team worked to ensure the vision for improvements reflected the needs of one of the state’s most culturally diverse regions. The resulting plan prioritized unique amenities and natural connections, setting the stage for a park that blends recreation, education, and environmental stewardship. Implementation included designing and delivering a new visitor center, entry plaza, interactive water feature, elevated treetop trail, specialty recreation areas, fishing spots, and expanded trail systems. WSB also provided municipal engineering services for utility infrastructure while coordinating with multiple permitting agencies. Today, amenity construction is complete, and the park offers immersive natural experiences and enhanced regional connectivity—creating a destination that celebrates the Mississippi River and will serve the community for generations to come.
