Why did you choose the Structural Engineering industry?

When I got out of college, I did structural steel detailing for about five years. After that, I worked in a few other similar jobs, but after looking at construction documents for all those years, I decided that I would like to create them and got my first job doing this type of work and enjoyed it ever since.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I was into cars at a young age and thought it would be fun to design them. But in high school, we got to work on laying out house plans, so I ended up going to school for Architectural Drafting.

What are you passionate about? What hobbies do you have?

I am very into muscle cars and have restored a 1969 Camaro and am in the process of restoring a 1969 Camaro convertible now. I’m also into customizing scale car models that I have taken apart and repainted and reassembled. I’m into the outdoors and going out for a nice nature hike with our dog as well.
