Honoring a legacy that shaped Arkansas infrastructure 🤝

We’re proud to share that former President & CEO, Brock Johnson, has been posthumously named a 2026 inductee into the Associated General Contractors of Arkansas Hall of Fame — one of the highest honors across our state’s construction, architecture, and engineering industries.

With more than 40 years dedicated to Garver, Brock led with a people-first mindset, driving innovation while advancing aviation and transportation across Arkansas. His leadership not only transformed a firm, but left a lasting impact on the industry and communities we serve.

We’re honored to celebrate his legacy and recognize all of this year’s inductees 👏
