What is the most unusual challenge you have encountered and how did you navigate it?

The most unusual challenges I’ve faced at ERA are during emergencies, when something goes wrong and there’s potential danger involved. In those situations, there’s a lot of pressure to give immediate direction. I’ve found that it’s important to act quickly – starting investigations right away and, if necessary, going to the site. At the same time, it’s just as important to take a step back and thoroughly understand and assess the situation before making any final decisions or giving specific guidance. Balancing both speed and careful judgement is key.

Have you ever won any awards?

Edwin C. Rossow Prize for Structural Engineering from Northwestern University Civil Engineering, 2014.

What ERA value speaks most to you and why?

Quality speaks to me the most because while the other values are also important, at the end of the day if we can’t produce quality work our expertise and teamwork don’t really matter.
