I have 25 years of structural engineering experience. I am honest and hardworking and will do whatever is needed to get the job done right the first time. I respond quickly to service calls and deploy a personalized, hands-on approach to every project for 100 percent satisfaction. A brief summary of services is as follows:

Management of project design, budget, scheduling, initializing and servicing client contracts, addressing the client’s needs, and coordination of construction changes, additions, etc.
Working knowledge of the latest building codes and design practices for steel structures, concrete structures, wood and masonry structures, and general analysis (e.g., existing structures, secondary structures, non-building structures, and computer verification)
Defining the scope of work
Excellent communication skills, written and verbal
Reading and interpreting drawings
Determining the method of analysis and applicable code requirements
Building mathematical models and designing economic structures
Use of professional judgment in making design assumptions
