Q+A

Why did you choose this career?

I was always curious how things were built growing up. I would find myself disassembling items around the house and putting them back together. In high school, I had the opportunity to spend a summer assisting in building a house from the concrete foundation up to completing the roof. That pretty much sealed my decision to go into Structural Engineering.

What Core Value resonates with you the most?

Responsiveness would be the value I identify with the most. The second someone emails or calls, I feel the need to answer their question as soon as possible so that I’m not the critical path.

What has been your favorite project to work on during your career?

Bouldin Creek Commons Office Building Austin, Texas. This project was a multi-tiered 5-story cast-in-place office building over a garage with many challenging structural design aspects. It was also a very coordinated project team that allowed for very productive and collaborative meetings.
