Hepburn and Sons LLC serves as the trusted advisors to the American maritime industry. Our passion is for naval engineering. Our President/CEO, a retired Navy Captain, Rick Hepburn is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in several states. He served as Supervisor of Shipbuilding in Bath, Maine and as the Chief Naval Architect for combatant ships (NAVSEA 05D), and a recognized expert on dry dock construction and operations, and ship repairs. After retirement from the Navy and serving in various defense industry executive positions, Rick and his family decided to start Hepburn and Sons LLC to continue fulling Rick’s passion for serving the United States Navy engineering community. The Hepburn family founded the firm in Manassas Virginia in 2010. The original family crest, with direct ties to medieval Scotland, was adopted as the company logo. The family motto is Keep Trust. The firm was founded on this Biblical principle.
