The Visionaries:
A Tribute to Baker & Ingram

Baker, Ingram & Assoc. wouldn’t be the thriving firm it is today without the vision and dedication of its founders, Lawrence R. Baker, Jr., P.E. (Lancaster Office) and A. Paynter Ingram, P.E (Dover Office).

Larry Baker, has been a pillar of the structural engineering community for nearly five decades. He co-founded Baker, Ingram & Associates with a clear mission: to translate architectural dreams into strong, enduring realities.

His expertise spans across a diverse range of projects, from towering mixed-use developments and bustling housing complexes to meticulous historic preservations and insightful building system assessments. With a Master’s in Civil Engineering from Villanova University and a Bachelor’s in Architectural Engineering from Penn State, Larry brought a well-rounded perspective to the table, ensuring every project considered both aesthetics and structural integrity.

His registrations as a Professional Engineer in a staggering 14 states – from Pennsylvania to California – are a testament to his broad knowledge and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Paynter Ingram has been a cornerstone of the firm since its inception, bringing 42 years of experience as a structural engineer. His dedication and expertise shaped Baker, Ingram & Assoc. into the trusted partner it is today.

A graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Paynter’s focus lies in the states of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. His keen understanding of regional nuances and building codes ensured that every project adheres to the highest safety and quality standards.

Together, Larry Baker and Paynter Ingram laid the foundation for a company that values collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to building a stronger future, one structure at a time.
