IN MEMORIAM
Aaron Fayish - Founder & Principal of Stahl Sheaffer Engineering
Aaron C. Fayish, P.E., PTOE | 1980 - 2020
Aaron was one of the founding members of Stahl Sheaffer Engineering in 2006 and served as a Principal for 14 years. Continuing education and the thirst for diverse knowledge was a hallmark of Aaron's personae. He obtained both a bachelors degree and a masters degree in civil engineering from The Pennsylvania State University, and he peer reviewed or co-authored more than 15 reports, publications, and presentations during his professional career. The company library in the Southpointe office, named in his honor, contains Aaron’s large collection of publications covering a wide range of engineering disciplines, construction, information technology, GIS, business, and leadership. Both Western Pennsylvania and the State College area held a special place in Aaron’s heart, and he was very proud of playing a key role in contributing to traffic improvements and enhancing pedestrian and bicycle safety in both regions. In addition to managing and growing Stahl Sheaffer's transportation discipline, as well as IT and GIS, he also led the company into the oil and gas industry where he championed the development of innovative and proprietary GIS solutions for roadway management.
