"I’ve always had a propensity to tinker with things. Skateboards, cars, music, brewing; I’ve always been drawn to hobbies that allowed me to repair, improve, or create things. It was a large truss bridge constructed next to my parents’ house that pushed me into the world of civil engineering. Now, I am in a line of work that allows me to professionally tinker. Beyond enjoying the creativity of the profession, I truly enjoy being able to support our clients. I prefer to approach our work with the perspective that we are not just clients and consultants. We are a team working towards the same goal. And when we approach tasks with that perspective, we’re likely to get the best results. That being said, I also spent a decade making pizzas. So, I will never forget: The customer is always right!"
