Gary Dominguez has been recognized by the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) for the 2021 5 Under 35 Award. Recipients are selected based on their contribution back to the fire protection profession and volunteerism in the community.
Gary’s professional fortitude has allowed him to advance his technical knowledge by leading large, complex projects while also maintaining his contributions to industry groups such as SFPE’s Committee on Outreach and Advocacy (appointed to the group in 2017). Gary also has an aptitude for teaching and mentoring, which has enabled him to give back to the FPE community by volunteering as a guest lecturer at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Santa Ana College.
