Gardner Spencer Smith Tench & Jarbeau, P.C. was founded in 1983 as Gardner Spencer Associates.  Founding partners, Joe Gardner and Les Spencer, have a professional relationship that began in the early 1970's while classmates at Georgia Tech.  Ownership was expanded internally to include Randy Smith in 1987, as well as David Tench and Reneè Jarbeau in 1996, all currently full partners in the firm. Initially serving local commercial accounts, the practice now includes a diverse mix of public and private institutional clients located throughout the southeast.  Specializations have emerged through extensive project experience in financial institutions, educational and performance facilities, as well as worship facilities.
