	<span style="font-size:16px;">Hailing from Amman Jordan, <strong>Nadir Ansari</strong> grew up in London, Ontario where his unquenchable curiosity and affinity for music, math and personal refinement came to life. After completing his Master&rsquo;s thesis on Statistical Modeling of Bridge Loading from the University of Western Ontario, he joined forces with Brian Isherwood, to become partner and eventual owner and CEO of Isherwood Associates. </span>
</p>
<p>
	Today Isherwood Associates celebrates 40 years as a successful boutique engineering firm, designing the excavation shoring that allows developers to hold back the pressures of the earth and waterways while they build underground. &nbsp;Subway development, tunnels under the Niagara River, underground parking garages on the edge of Lake Ontario- fascinating, creative and challenging engineering problems are daily bread for the team at Isherwood. He is also an entrepreneur; Isherwood is one of several companies Nadir owns and has breathed life into.&nbsp;</p>
