Why did you go into structural engineering?
Problem solving has always been a good fit for me, and in school I loved working in a field where we can touch the materials that we’re working with. Being entrusted with solving problems in the buildings where people live and work and run their businesses is a privilege.

LEED AP Building Design + Construction
Why did you go into structural engineering?

Seeing both of them finding enjoyment in their careers while also making a daily impact on cities and communities sealed the deal for me.
Little Known Fact
I own and play a Keytar.

What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?
I absolutely love to travel abroad and I also love to write about those travels, but neither happen nearly as much as I would like. If “overseas self-publishing amateur travel writer” could be considered a hobby, that would be my answer.
