The Legacy
What does legacy look like in our industry?
The Legacy Clay Classic exists to explore, celebrate, and inspire legacy in the Greater Cincinnati AEC community, honoring those whose work, character, and commitment leave a lasting mark on the people, places, and profession around them.
Each year, we ask a simple question: what does legacy look like in our industry? The answer is never the same. It shows up in businesses passed from one generation to the next, in the irreplaceable absence of someone whose relationships defined a community, in the quiet mentorship that shaped careers, and in the work that outlasts the person who built it. The Legacy Clay Classic is where we find those answers, celebrate them, and carry them forward.
Legacy is not one thing
It takes the form of continuity, a business received and carried forward. It takes the form of impact, a person whose presence shaped everything around them. Craft, mentorship, generosity, character. We celebrate all of it.
Every honoree adds to the definition
Each year's honoree expands what legacy means in this community. Future honorees will show us things we haven't yet imagined. That open-endedness is not a gap, it is the point.
Community is the context
The AEC industry in Greater Cincinnati is built on trust, partnership, and long relationships. Legacy doesn't happen in isolation, it happens in the presence of people who witness, carry, and are shaped by it.
Generosity is the output
Every dollar raised above event costs goes directly to a cause chosen by the honoree, an organization that maximizes benefit to those it serves. Legacy inspires generosity. That is the cycle we are building.
Our Story
From “Don’t Shoot the Engineers” to the Legacy Clay Classic
A day on the range became a tradition. A tradition became a mission. A mission became a way of honoring the people who build Greater Cincinnati.
Through 2024
A Day on the Range
Founded by Jeff Barrow, CEO of Civil Solutions Associates, the event began as an annual gathering for clients and friends: a day where the people who build Cincinnati could step away from the project site and connect. Its founding sponsors were there from the start, and so was its spirit, less about business and more about community.
2025
In Memory of Steve Arnold
The event was renamed the Legacy Clay Classic in tribute to Steve Arnold, Business Development Manager at Bray Construction, who passed away unexpectedly. Steve was a connector, a champion for others, and a tireless ambassador for the profession. His absence made visible the full size of what he had built, and planted the question that became the event’s purpose.
2026 & Beyond
A New Tradition
Beginning in 2026, the Legacy Clay Classic honors one individual or family each year who has made a generational commitment to the AEC industry in Greater Cincinnati: someone who received something from the generation before them and chose to carry it forward. The honoree selects a charitable organization to receive the net proceeds.

Each year, the Legacy Clay Classic honors someone who has shaped Civil Solutions and our community, and as part of the event makes a charitable gift in their name to a cause of their choosing. This year's honoree is Boone Riegler of Riegler Blacktop, and the cause he's chosen is one he and Riegler Blacktop have long supported: the Northern Kentucky chapter of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
Since 1911, St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky has been a neighbor Northern Kentucky families can count on. Volunteers from 32 parish conferences across seven counties (Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Grant, Kenton, Pendleton) visit families in their own homes, listen to what they actually need, and help with food, rent and utility assistance, clothing, furniture, and medical equipment. Last year alone, the organization provided more than $1.2 million in emergency rent and utility assistance, served nearly 44,000 people through its food pantries, and logged 29,000 volunteer hours, always working toward long-term stability, not just a one-time handout.
As part of this year's event, we're presenting a charitable gift to St. Vincent de Paul Northern Kentucky, handed to their representatives on stage during the event program. It's a fitting choice: an organization built on neighbors helping neighbors, selected by an honoree who lives that same value in his own support of the community.
Join us on August 27 to celebrate Boone and help make this year's gift possible.
