Island Life Engineering, LLC

Island Life Engineering, LLC (ISLE) is a consulting firm specializing in civil engineering, water resources planning, feasibility studies and construction management in the Pacific Islands.

Our firm was established in 2016 by Ron Gonzales, a US registered professional civil engineer with 30 years of experience serving clients throughout the western US and the Pacific Region. Ron has lived and worked in the Pacific Islands since 1990, relocating here after establishing a prominent career in California.

He is joined by partners and friends Tom Polevich, a renowned geotechnical engineer based on Guam; and Lioubov Timokhina, a project logistics specialist based in the Republic of Palau.

Ron started ISLE after having established long term business and personal relationships with clients and colleagues on many of our islands, from Hawaii, to the Marianas; from Palau to the Federated States of Micronesia; and beyond to the Philippines. Over the course of his career, Ron grew to realize that what tethers him to this vast expanse of ocean, dotted with thousands of tiny gems called the Pacific Islands, was not simply the next project opportunity; but a deep, personal connection with the people and communities he served.
