Bonique Emerson, MAUP, AICP, Vice President of Planning, has 20 years of experience as a Planner and Project Manager, spending the majority of those years with the City of Fresno. While at the City of Fresno she has processed hundreds of entitlement applications, directed the implementation of the General Plan and Development Code, and played a key role in coordination among public agencies, developers, and residents. She also oversaw the development and implementation of the City’s Land Management System. Mrs. Emerson has also managed many large-scale projects including the Fresno HSR Station Area Master Plan.

At PCE, Mrs. Emerson leverages her extensive planning knowledge to manage both public and private sector projects in various communities. She is experienced in CEQA, planning process management and streamlining, entitlement review, and managing large scale planning projects. She is a Certified Planner through the American Planning Association, and recipient of PCE’s 2021 Employee of the Year. She was heavily involved with the Villages at Almond Grove Specific Plan (City of Madera) which has been selected to receive the 2023 Excellence and Achievement in Planning – Comprehensive Planning Award of Merit (Small Jurisdiction). In her spare time, Mrs. Emerson enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons. She has a passion for travel and enjoys international trips with her family.

David Yacoby has been an employee for Precision Civil Engineering (PCE) for the better part of 20 years dating back to 2005 after graduating from California State University, Fresno in that same year. He has worked for PCE in many capacities including conceptual, tentative and final mapping, grading design, utility design, drafting and review of plan and profiles, survey documents, closure calculations, staking calculations, project management and coordination between client, city/agency, and contractor. Over the last 20 years David has seen hundreds of projects through from feasibility to completion of construction providing a practical perspective for clients in all areas of development including residential, commercial, and public improvements.

When David is not laying out a 300-lot subdivision, he likes to spend his free time watching professional wrestling and collecting Funko Pops. Now before you tell him professional wrestling is fake, he would respond by saying “it is more real than the evening news”. He enjoys these activities with his wife and daughter, and their three cats, Clyde, Kesha and Delilah the latter two being hairless!
