CVL is pleased to announce Parker Froehlich’s promotion to Director of Land Development. In the last 18 years, Parker has grown into a community leader due to his extensive experience in civil engineering and his contribution to various organizations and charities.

He graduated from Arizona State University and began his career as a surveyor, which gave him great insight into the construction phase. He was able to tailor construction documents with great precision to be best utilized by the field crews.

Parker has worked throughout the valley with various municipalities such as, City of Phoenix, City of Goodyear, City of Peoria, Town of Paradise Valley, City of Buckeye, City of Maricopa, City of Casa Grande, City of Surprise, and Town of Gilbert. Key areas of expertise include computer-based civil design and drafting, hydrology and hydraulics analysis, infrastructure design, and project management. Land development experience includes master planning, preparing tentative and final plats, preparing grading and drainage plans and design reports, stormwater pollution prevention plans and reports, street improvement plans, public and private water and sewer plans and design reports.

CVL would like to congratulate Colin Hanson on passing his technical registration exams and earning the title of Professional Landscape Architect and his recent promotion to Project Manager. Colin has over a decade of landscape architectural experience in the Southwest region where he has worked on a wide range of projects from commercial, industrial, hospitality, single family residential, multi-family, and master plan communities at all stages of entitlement, design, and construction. With a drive for a quality design experience, Colin places strong emphasis on design, communication, and collaboration with clients and municipalities. For Colin, every project has a story to be told, one that is either innate in the land’s history, or a story that is created with the design. The landscape provides a canvas to bring those stories to life and he focuses on giving those stories inspiring open spaces that engage the community. In his personal time, Colin enjoys hiking, fishing, riding bikes, movies, concerts, reading, traveling, and spending time with his family.
