OUR STAFF

Mike Kelter, P.E., Vice-President  

 
After serving the Nation and the State of Florida for twenty-one years as an Infantry Officer in the U.S. Army and the Florida Army National Guard, Mike completed his formal civil engineering training at the University of Florida and immediately went to work for the St. Johns County Engineering Department.

In 1997, service in the County was temporarily interrupted as Mike was selected by the City of Green Cove Springs to head up reorganization of the City’s water utilities and solid waste utilities into enterprise funds while providing leadership to the Public Works Department. That project was completed in 1999 and a short time after returning to St Johns County, Mike opened an engineering office dedicated to supporting the needs of Public Service Agents and Municipalities in Northeast Florida.  Mike currently serves the city of Green Cove Springs on the City Council.  

 
Vicki Kelter, President

Vicky graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Microbiology, and afterward worked in Environmental Chemistry Quality Assurance/Quality Control in several Environmental Labs in Florida.  She also spent some time teaching Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology in the Pensacola area. 

Currently, Vicki is the Office Manager for HR Block in Green Cove Springs and teaches basic and advanced tax preparation courses for HR Block.  She also provides financial advising and support for Legacy Civil Engineers as well as other local businesses.

Mike Davis, Project Manager

Mike joined Legacy Civil Engineers in November of 2008 when our rapidly expanding project list demanded the time and talents of a dedicated project manager.  After receiving a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering from UNF in 2002, Mike worked on a variety of both commercial and residential projects with a strong emphasis on Master Drainage and Utility Design.  His extensive experience working with local, state and federal regulatory agencies have already proven a valuable asset to Legacy Civil and the clients we serve.
