In 1965, Daniel Shapiro started SOHA Engineers when he left John Sardis & Associates to start his own structural engineering practice: Daniel Shapiro, Structural Engineer. He was joined one year later in 1966 by Harry Okino and they would be known as Shapiro and Okino Engineers. John H. Hom joined the company in 1970 and establish Shapiro, Okino, Hom and Associates. The company changed names in later years to SOH & Associates and ultimately SOHA Engineers.
