Why did you go into Engineering?
When I finished high school, I knew two things: I liked math and I liked being outside, so engineering seemed like the natural fit. I chose structural engineering which currently keeps me in the office 99% of the time, so my vision wasn't quite right, but as I grow older, I appreciate working on engaging work while sipping a warm cup of coffee or tea from the comfort of my desk.
Little Known Fact
Living by the ocean, where there are waves, has had a great influence on my professional career path. Warm weather is a close second. The result is integrating work-life balance while being passionate about my career and professional development.

Why did you go into Engineering?
I grew up helping my dad wrenching on his vehicles (ok, mostly holding the flashlight). I was also good in math and science and as a plus I liked to draw so it felt like a very natural thing to do. After so many years in the industry I am happy to say I picked something that I am not only good at but really enjoy doing.
Little Known Fact
I love to work with my hands and therefore own a ton of tools that I use to work on my own cars, bikes, and house. A good weekend for me would involve fixing something.
What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?
I love to spend my free time off-roading so if I had more time, I would do a lot more of it.

Little Known Fact
Before Degenkolb, I worked as a professor, and while I was giving a test, I played Yu-Gi-Oh! with my cousin. One eye on the students and the other on the board game.

Why did you go into the AEC industry?

I am a rock guy. These days I've been listening to old-school Metallica.
