What’s something most people don’t know about you?

A distant part of my family (going way back) has an interesting history in Colorado, but you have to ask me to find out.

What inspired you to pursue your career?

Engineering is a career that has a direct impact on all our lives on a daily basis. There are few careers that touch the lives of so many people in this way. I am extremely proud that our Denver office represents so many of our business division offerings because of this impact.

What’s the coolest part of your job?

Working with such a great group of employee owners on so many diverse projects and seeing them built. As I get to the latter part of my career, I have really enjoyed seeing new employee-owners come in, make such an immediate impact and then grow in their careers.
