Why did you go into structural engineering?

I grew up working construction in my father’s business.  He relentlessly insisted I not “do what he does and ruin your body AND that I go to college”.  And so I did, and Structural Engineering was what came most naturally.

Little Known Facts

I enjoy boating and tinkering on projects at our ‘family’ cabin at Shasta Lake.

Vegetarian.

Reuse is a hobby, and it’s not hoarding.

Why did you go into structural engineering?

My father is an architect who taught and encouraged me to build things.  That interest in building developed from personal construction projects, to going to school to understand how building work, to helping my clients design the projects they need and desire.

Little Known Fact

I enjoy running and doing my own construction projects at home.

 Question of the Day
