Why did you go into structural engineering?
The son of a general contractor, I grew up building structures on my father’s crews during the summers and weekends. I also loved math and physics and, when it came to applying for college, structural engineering was the logical choice and felt right. It still does.
Little known fact
I met the Dalai Lama in the Himalayas at age 8.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
My high school physics teacher, Doc Michaels, and grandfather, Harold Holman. Doc Michaels was an incredibly dynamic and a bit eccentric teacher who first exposed me to statics and dynamics and how you could calculate how long it would take a bowling ball to fall from the top of our high school gymnasium. My grandfather was a lifelong contractor who let me tag along and help out on many small projects around his house. I even asked my parents to call me “Little Harold” for a couple years.
Little Known Fact
I lived in Plzen, Czechoslovakia as a kid for a year while my parents started an English speaking school.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
I was always fascinated by construction growing up and new that I wanted to be involved in building big things. Originally, I thought I would go into the construction side of the industry. However, at some point in college I became more interested in how buildings worked and were designed at which point I determined structural engineering was the best way for me to contribute to the industry.
