Why did you go into Structural Engineering?
Early on I realized I was a problem solver. Before college, I narrowed it down to two professions: medicine and engineering. I concluded that above all else, I enjoyed mathematics and analytical thinking. I’ve always gotten great satisfaction from managing and seeing a project through from beginning to end, and I prefer being part of a team where the diverse skills and strengths of our team members complement one another.
Little Known Fact
I taught Statics and Concrete Design courses at Portland State University.
