Fourth Principal

A chance encounter at breakfast introduces Larry Good to a new client — upstart electronics retailer Circuit City. GFF follows through with more than 400 project engagements over 17 years for the brand. The arrangement sustains the firm through two economic downturns and pays for all the computers. Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

GFF moves its office to the Centrum. This location becomes beloved by firm employees and is known for its iconic glazed garage doors on each principal’s office. The problem is that whenever a garage door is lowered, everyone knows that somebody is in trouble!

Duncan Fulton becomes the president of AIA Dallas.

Bryce Weigand joins GFF as the fifth Principal and becomes an AIA Fellow.
