It was November 1999 in Alexandria, Virginia. Jim, a longtime veteran in the right of way business, and Holly, a successful management consultant with a major international accounting/consulting firm, met for dinner. This father/daughter duo decided they both had an interest in starting a firm that would bring new and better ways of helping the country build infrastructure. As the saying goes, “the business plan was sketched out on a bar napkin.” By July 2000, Epic was incorporated. More family members joined: Lynette Overcamp, Jim’s wife, and Casey Overcamp, Jim’s son and Holly’s brother.
