Mel Galli

Mel Galli III, P.E.

Position: Principal Engineer

I have been with The Galli Group for 22 years. I hold a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Oregon Tech in Klamath Falls and am a licensed Professional Engineer in Oregon (PE #84454PE). I stepped into the role of Principal Engineer in 2020 after the passing of my uncle, mentor, and TGG founder, Bill Galli, P.E., an opportunity that I consider both an honor and a privilege. I am a Grants Pass native, and although I moved to Virginia two years ago, I remain actively involved in the company, working remotely from there. My work at TGG focuses on civil and geotechnical design and review, project management, report and proposal writing, and client relations. I specialize in flood analyses, civil development projects, AutoCAD, and final plans and report reviews.

What I love most about TGG is the professional expertise and experience found in a warm, informal, and family-oriented atmosphere. It truly sets us apart. I strive to bring that same spirit to my own work by making it personal, staying positive, encouraging others, and always seeking the silver lining.

I have been married for 23 years to Annie, TGG’s Secretary, and we have three adult “kids” and two adorable grandbabies. Outside of work, I am still involved with the Active Club, a local nonprofit that supports youth programs in the Grants Pass community and organizes the annual Boatnik Celebration. I spend my free time having fun outdoors and on the water – rafting the Rogue and now learning to sail on the York River. I also enjoy working in the yard, doing calisthenics, rebounding, and playing basketball. And yes, I’m a big fan of NBA guard and Oregon Duck alum, Payton Pritchard! Even from afar, I still consider Grants Pass home. I miss The Climate and that unbeatable small-town feel.
