While wrapping up my Bachelor’s degree, I visited my brother in Chicago. I stood at the base of the Willis Tower, looked up and asked myself, “How does this building stay standing?” I knew right then what I wanted to focus my Master’s degree on and the rest is history. Little did I know at that time; Dave Ruby had a hand in the design/construction of the Willis Tower.
