Our Leadership

Gil Ramirez, PE | Chief Executive Officer

Since joining in 2013 I have worked to use my public sector experience to grow LTG’s service areas to include all aspects of Traffic Signal Maintenance and Operations (TSM&O) including lighting, signalization, and Intelligent Transportation Systems. It has been my goal to diversify our public and private sector client base to improve the quality of our work and help bolster an already resilient company. As the director of the Design group, it has been a pleasure to support a great team to succeed by applying our shared values of integrity, quality, and teamwork; and to watch our Transportation/Roadway Design team continue to grow. As Chief Executive Officer it is my goal to manage our growth, protecting LTG’s high-quality and service-oriented reputation, while implementing a long-range vision of a resilient company that is able to take full advantage of cutting-edge technologies to solve the transportation problems of the future.

George Galan, PE | Chief Operations Officer

After running my own traffic engineering and transportation firm in south Florida for over 20 years, I’m happy that my adventures north have led me to team up with LTG, a firm whose solid reputation is recognized throughout Florida. My focus is to enhance LTG’s transportation capability and to assist the company’s growing transportation market.

Jonathan Brasch, PE | Director of Design

Since joining LTG fresh out of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in 2013, I have rapidly advanced from an analyst to become the Director of Design, driven by a commitment to excellence and a leadership style that values mentorship over directives. My approach—shaped by formidable mentors and the philosophy that “a leader shows you what to do, not just tells you”—has guided significant projects across Florida, from innovative roadway lighting to comprehensive traffic solutions, ensuring quality and integrity in our designs. Beyond work, I am an avid sports enthusiast, enjoying everything from pickleball to surfing, which keeps me energized and ready to tackle the unpredictable yet thrilling challenges of engineering.

Pedro Vazquez | Director of Finance & HR

My goal as the Director of Finance & HR is to develop sound fiscal management practices and effectively allocate and use our resources to meet both current and future operating needs. I strive to drive efficiency and productivity through the evaluation of financial management systems and implementation of process improvements, which ensures the firm a continuously sound financial structure. I also hire and retain top-notch staff so our firm can continue to provide our clients with high quality service and products. I strive to provide our employees with up-to-date benefits, policies, procedures, and professional development options, to ensure a great work-life balance and opportunity to grow.

Kady Dearing, PE | Director of Traffic Engineering

Since joining LTG, I have grown my career in traffic engineering and transportation planning, building a strong understanding of how thoughtful analysis and design can improve safety, mobility, and everyday travel. My experience includes traffic impact studies, signal warrant analyses, intersection and corridor studies, bicycle and pedestrian planning, and ADA transition projects. I enjoy working through complex transportation challenges and turning them into practical, data-driven solutions that support both our clients and communities. I take pride in contributing to LTG’s continued growth and being part of a team focused on improving how people move through the world.

G. Josh Black | Director of Business Development

I bring a broad background in civil and transportation engineering, with experience in traffic operations, roadway and drainage design, permitting, and stormwater management. My work has included traffic impact studies, traffic calming evaluations, signal warrant analyses, and access management reviews across Florida. With both private and public-sector experience, including time with FDOT District 5, I have developed a practical understanding of regulatory processes, project delivery, and supporting business development efforts through strong client relationships and responsive service. 

R. Sans Lassiter, PE | Founder & President

A Legacy of Leadership

Reputation, expertise, and quality work were the foundations upon which Sans Lassiter built LTG. As our founder and president, Sans led with integrity and vision, always focused on these core values to ensure the firm’s continued success. He believed deeply in the principle that a leader is only as successful as the people around them. Guided by that belief, Sans was dedicated to building a team of talented, capable professionals whose values and expertise reflected the mission of LTG. His legacy lives on in the culture he shaped, the people he inspired, and the work we continue in his honor.
