J2 Announces Its Newest Shareholders and Principals in Continued Growth

June 2025 – J2 is pleased to announce Adam Steiner, PLA, and Andy Gorecki, PE, as the firm’s newest shareholders and principals. This milestone reflects J2’s ongoing commitment to internal ownership transition and securing the firm’s legacy for generations to come.

“Ensuring J2’s future by elevating proven leaders who embody our mission, vision, and core values is critical to sustaining our legacy,” said Bob Brown, PE, J2 president and principal. “Adam and Andy exemplify the dedication, leadership, and client focus that will drive J2 forward for years to come.”

Steiner joined J2 in 2019 and brings more than 30 years of experience in land planning and landscape architecture across Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. A graduate of the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, he is a licensed Professional Landscape Architect in Virginia and Maryland, a LEED Accredited Professional, and an ISA Certified Arborist. Known for his collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, Steiner leads complex entitlement and design projects from concept through approvals. As Director of Landscape Architecture, he has broadened J2’s service offerings and developed strong relationships with clients, including HGA, JLB, NRP, Peterson Companies, and Van Metre. His team often leads entitlement efforts, such as rezonings, special exceptions, and sign development plans, on projects where J2 may not perform engineering design.

“Adam’s vision for landscape architecture and his ability to foster client trust have been key to growing this important facet of J2’s business,” Brown said.
“Becoming a shareholder and principal at J2 is an opportunity to keep doing what matters most – supporting our people, doing great work, and doing right by our clients,” said Steiner. “I’m proud of what our landscape architecture team has accomplished, but even more proud of how we work across disciplines to deliver projects for our clients and the community. That collaboration is what makes J2 special, and I’m excited to help carry it forward."

Gorecki joined the firm in 2021 and brings over 29 years of experience in civil engineering. A Virginia Tech graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, he is a licensed Professional Engineer in Virginia and West Virginia, a Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) certified professional, and a LEED Accredited Professional. Gorecki has worked on a broad range of projects, including K-12 schools, commercial office buildings, mixed-use and residential developments, secure government facilities, park and recreational facilities, and public infrastructure. His expertise spans all project phases from concept and feasibility through design and construction closeout. As the municipal market sector leader for business development and the site/civil group leader, Gorecki continues to strengthen J2’s presence in these key sectors.

“Andy’s technical expertise, client commitment, and leadership in business development have helped elevate J2’s brand and capabilities,” Brown added.
Gorecki shared, “Stepping into the role of shareholder and principal is a meaningful opportunity. I’ve always believed that strong projects begin with strong relationships – being present, listening to our clients, and working through challenges together. I’m proud to be part of a team that puts people first, leads with integrity, and takes ownership of doing what’s right, not just what’s easy. That mindset is what sets J2 apart.”

Adam and Andy’s elevation to shareholders and principals marks a significant step in J2’s strategic growth and leadership succession, helping sustain the firm’s success and continued dedication to client service excellence.
