Prepared Construction Documents for temporary shoring and sequencing to remove all but the façade of this 12- and 16-story structure
690 Market Street Building, Adaptive Reuse San Francisco, CA
Provided construction engineering services related to partial demolition and adaptive reuse of this historic San Francisco structure. Prepared Construction Documents for temporary shoring and sequencing to remove all but the façade of this 12- and 16-story structure, excavate a new basement level and mat foundation, and build a modern steel frame building behind the existing façade. This challenging project required close coordination with the design team for the new structure as well as the construction team, and required safe support of both gravity and lateral loads at all stages of demolition and new construction. The project is a 2006 SEAOC award winner.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
My father was a construction superintendent, so I was introduced to the dynamics of a construction site at an early age. I was drawn to the creation of structures with a complex series of simple movements and elements. Upon entering UCSD, the description of the Structural Engineering program had me hooked – the ability to affect seemingly limitless structures. When I first got my PE license, I stamped a blank sheet of paper and faxed it to my dad at his job trailer – I think it was a proud moment for both of us.
Little known fact
My wife is a litigation attorney. When asked how many times I’ve been deposed, the official answer is based on my expert witness work, but the unofficial answer is a lot more!
Question of the Day
What’s your favorite way to get to work?
Bicycle – day or night, rain or shine. It’s a wonderful way to experience the city and enjoy a bit of exercise to start and end the day.

Why did you go into structural engineering?
When I entered college, I originally was in the mechanical engineering department at Berkeley, interested in the sub-discipline of petroleum engineering (mostly because this was a few years after the energy crisis of the mid 1970’s). After learning more about what mechanical would entail, and realizing that this wasn’t going to be a good fit for my interests, I switched into Civil Engineering. Once I began taking classes in the various disciplines of Civil, I determined that structural would be the best for me, especially living in California with our exposure to earthquakes.
Little Known Fact
I am a 3rd generation San Franciscan and have never lived more than 20 miles from the City. I’ve also coached little league baseball for 30 years, which is finally coming to an end.
