I am the son of a brick mason, and growing up in the construction industry attracted me to structural engineering at an early age. I love finding creative solutions to both complex and common problems. I derive a lot of personal satisfaction in finding ways to save owners money and enabling the architect’s designs to become an affordable reality.

Finding new, innovative solutions to structural engineering problems to the benefit of our clients.
Where do you find inspiration?
I like to find times during the day when I can clear my head and discover new solutions to problems.
If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Going to the Eiffel Tower was at the top of my bucket list. Fortunately, I was able to realize that dream in 2019. The Colosseum in Italy might be next on my list.
