An accomplished listee, Mr. O'Geary celebrates many years' experience in his professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes he has accrued in his field. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. O'Geary is a retired engineering company executive who was most recently known for his 14 years of service as the vice president of operations at J.D. Abrams, Inc. Concluding his career in 1999, he continued to serve as a consultant for the organization, which is located in Austin, TX, about two-and-a-half hours from where he resides in Houston.

Earning a surveying degree from Tri-State University in 1943, followed by a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1947, Mr. O'Geary began his career as a resident engineering trainee with the Virginia Highway Department in Richmond between 1947 and 1950.

Groves & Sons Company in both Minneapolis and Springfield, IL, as an engineer, assistant estimator, project manager, vice president, assistant to the area manager, and area manager. Established in 1905, S.J.

A lifetime member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, longtime member of both the American Concrete Institute and the Society of American Military Engineers of 50 years, and member of the National Maritime Historical Society, Mr. O'Geary became an Eagle Scout in his early teens. He formerly served on active duty with the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1943 to 1946, and remained with the U.S. Naval Reserve on inactive duty until 1958.

Married to his wife Alice Stuart Baum since 1947 with three children, Mr. O'Geary also now has three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
