Wayne Bryan, PE
2019
Wayne Bryan, PE, a Principal with Ehlert Bryan has 39 years of experience including 37 with the firm. Completing an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering at Michigan Technological University and a graduate degree in Geotechnical Engineering from Purdue University, Wayne was first employed with a structural engineering firm in Southfield, Michigan in 1980. With interest rates at 18 percent, the implosion of the auto industry, and the significant contraction of the office, George Ehlert, a coworker and college roommate, and Wayne opened the firm in late 1981. Understanding the need for an office in a location less affected by the auto industry cycles, Wayne moved to Northern Virginia in 1985 and opened the Metro Washington office.
Wayne has been an active member of SEA-MW since very near the beginning in 1988. He helped build the Association during the early years by serving diligently on the board culminating with chairmanship in 1993-1994. He continued to serve the Association through the mid-90’s as a member of the Contracts Committee, on which he assisted in the production of the short-form contact that was accepted and still offered by the Council of American Structural Engineers (CASE). Over the course of his 30 years of membership, he has led or participated in no fewer than ten presentations to the Association. In the early 1990’s, he became the liaison between SEA-MW and the Consulting Engineers Council of Metropolitan Washington (CEC-MW). He was awarded Engineer of the Year in 1995 and eventually was elected president of CEC-MW in 1997-1997. He was active in the National Council of Structural Engineer Associations (NCSEA) and was a presenter at the first National Conference.
Outside of the office, Wayne has actively mentored Boy and Venture Scouts with the Boy Scouts of America for over sixteen years as an Assistant Scoutmaster and Venture Advisor. In addition to the leadership and skills training of these young men and women, he has led numerous hiking and backpacking trips through many of the country’s great adventure areas. He was also an active soccer coach in the McLean area for more than 13 years.
Wayne and his wife Jane have six children, all of whom love to travel. He has traveled with his family to much of Europe, Asia, and Antarctica. He has camped and backpacked throughout the United States including Yosemite, Yellowstone, Olympic, the Grand Tetons, and New Mexico. His latest trip was a month-long trek along the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas with his son and daughter.

Denis McMullan graduated from Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1969, lived in Scotland for several years working for an international A/E firm in Edinburgh. He became a Member of Institute of Civil Engineers, MICE, and the Institute of Structural Engineers MIStructE. In 1976, he moved to the United States, obtained his EIT and PE licensure whereupon his first project was to design the Christiana Care Wilmington Hospital in Delaware, and while working full time he earned a Master’s degree in Structural Engineering from George Washington University in 1983. In 1988, he founded McMullan & Associates, Inc. Throughout his career, he has served the Engineer of Record on thousands of significant civic, cultural, historic and medical buildings throughout Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. He is renowned for his structural engineering design for a broad spectrum of building types and construction methodologies, and is well known for his thoughtful solutions to complex engineering issues. Denis’ work with restoring numerous important historic canals, locks, and aqueducts allowed him to develop a competency in the field of Canal Construction Era aqueducts and locks. Denis is very responsive to clientele and insists that this responsiveness be modeled by his staff as well. He advises staff to pay attention to what the client wants and needs, even if they are sometimes different. He is diligent about meeting the scope and timeline. He takes great pride in making the company word our bond. Denis’ contributions to structural engineering with historic canal structures is especially well renowned. His research into canal technology of the 18th and 19th century provided means of restoring several structures where other means of repairs had not been successful, particularly at the Monocacy and Catoctin Aqueducts for the National Park Service. In addition, Denis has promoted women in engineering. Fifty percent of the engineers on his staff are women. He has engendered dozens of local structural engineers - still active today.
