Source Environmental Sciences, Inc. was founded in 1984 by Jack Coblenz and several other environmental specialists from Dames & Moore, Inc. (a large multi-national environmental consulting firm).

Over the years, Source has gained a reputation for providing very high quality services at fair and reasonable costs. As a result, Source grew rapidly into a firm of 50 employees.
