Little Known Fact
I have climbed three of the five volcanoes in Washington: Mount Baker (10,781 ft), Mount Adams (12,276 ft), and Mount Rainier (14,411 ft). Still on the list: Mount St. Helens (8365 ft) and Glacier Peak (10,541 ft).
Why did you go into Earthquake Engineering?
During graduate school I travelled to Taipei, Taiwan as part of a reconnaissance trip after the 1999 Chi Chi earthquake. Observing the damage firsthand led me to focus my career on reducing the impact of future earthquakes.
Question of the Day
What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?
I would definitely get into private aviation and have a small plane to travel up and down the West Coast with my family. There are so many beautiful areas to explore and what better way to see them than from the sky!

Why did you go into structural engineering?
As a young child and teenager I was always interested in building things and enjoyed the fact that you could see and touch structural engineering. In my early childhood I worked with my father and brother to build a little cabin in Northern Wisconsin. I guess that experience always stuck with me and created a desire to build bigger buildings. I now spend more of my time on business issues than actually designing and building buildings but in my personal life I am still very hands on and enjoy doing my own small scale construction projects.

Question of the Day
What’s your favorite way to get to work?
By airplane of course. Alaska airlines appreciates my business. My primary residence and family are in Seattle but I travel extensively to all of the Degenkolb offices.
