After graduating from the University of Kentucky, Whitley’s first job was working for STW. Seven short years later, he became partner in 2010. As an engineer, a project manager, and now a leader, he is constantly raising the bar to make us stronger in every role. He keeps STW’s staff focused on quality and strengthening the fundamentals of good engineering.

Whitley’s prompt responses to clients and colleagues is hard to match. He leads STW’s team through some of our most challenging projects and doesn’t shy away from problems when they occur. He confidently pulls in the resources, solutions, and technical muscle required to get the project team back on track.

A native of Cynthiana, Whitley’s hometown roots are rich. Growing up amongst Kentucky’s most beautiful farmlands is a big reason why he always finds a way to be outdoors. Backpacking, skiing, kayaking, and hiking are when he is happiest and most relaxed. Whitley and his wife, Caroline, are college sweethearts and parents to their daughter, Anna Claire and son, Harrison.
