Terry Kagler has lived in Florida for over five years, and he’s well acquainted with Florida aviation, having served as the electrical engineer of record on projects for airports of all sizes across the state and country. When the opportunity to support those airports alongside two of his mentors at Garver, Tampa Aviation Leader Matt Serynek and South Florida Aviation Leader John Carrigan, came up, he jumped at it.
With Garver, Kagler joins a rapidly growing Florida Aviation Team committed to helping airports across the Northeast part of the state improve vital infrastructure that will enable them to be as sustainable as possible and to meet the demands of increasing enplanements.
He’ll be based in Garver’s new Jacksonville, Florida, office, which joins offices in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa to increase Garver’s Florida footprint.
“This is a great opportunity to be a part of a good thing - I’m inspired by what John and Matt are doing here in Florida with Garver, and I’m excited to contribute to the growth,” said Kagler, whose range of experience and expertise covers airport planning with electrical forecasting, as well as project management for various types of airport facilities projects and aviation consulting contract leadership.
In addition to partnering with airports in Northeast Florida, Kagler will be working with Garver’s Electrical Resiliency and Illumination Team to help deliver innovative, efficient, and economic designs and long-term maintenance solutions on a variety of electrical projects.
“Garver’s got a deep bench of electrical PEs,” Kagler said, “and I’m excited to collaborate with them on planning for increasing electrical needs.”
“Terry brings a nuanced understanding of Florida airports and client needs along with significant experience and expertise,” said Carrigan. “We’re thrilled to have him on board and to be able to offer our clients even more when it comes to electrical resiliency and sustainability.”

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
