Company History
In 1990, Bruce West and Jim Yost founded West Yost to fulfill their dream of creating a company founded on a “culture of goodness.” Friends before their careers launched, they met at the University of California, Davis while completing their engineering undergraduate studies.Their founding objective was deeply rooted in providing high-quality work, superior client service, and technical expertise.
We believe as an organization, that our leadership is here to support our consultants and our clients. This gives the West Yost team a unified purpose and creates a place to support our remarkable team. When we asked our West Yost team how to best mark the occasion of our 30th anniversary, we received an overwhelming response in favor of contributing to local food banks. This commitment to helping out our local communities speaks to the dedication and desire our team has in making a difference where we live and work. Here are some of the organizations we have supported this year:
Feeding America
MESA USA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Achievement),? Arizona, California, and Oregon
30 Food Banks across Arizona, California, and Oregon
