San Francisco Structural Engineers & Architects

For years in the industry, I observed something missing that cost homeowners untold stress and frustration, cost contractors lost time and money and left real estate agents and lenders unable to satisfy their clients’ needs. I decided to do something about it.

With 32 years of civil & structural engineering experience, I have contributed to all aspects of the building industry. I have achieved success in commercial and residential markets, held leadership roles such as a building official, city engineer, and director for local governments, and accomplished hundreds of millions of dollars in successful commercial building and civil infrastructure as a designer, project manager, and leader.

I have extensive experience with design and project management of transportation, roadways, traffic engineering, storm drainage facilities, bridges, site development review, and inspection. I have also enjoyed building more than 100 custom homes throughout the Front Range.

I am a Leadership Fellow with APWA and was awarded the 2014 Professional of the Year by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). I have held leadership roles in securing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants and have managed multiple federal grants funded NEPA studies and transportation projects. I also held a lead management role in ENR’s Best Project of 2009 for a 300 acre Brownfield redevelopment including $250 million dollars in infrastructure bridges and 650,000sf of retail redevelopment.

I have three fabulous daughters as well as two fabulous stepchildren with my wife, Anya. I enjoy outdoor activities around my home in the mountains – getting back to my Wyoming roots.

As a 20-year business consultant & executive coach, I have worked with many organizations to take them from idea to profitability, from stagnation to growth, and from team survival to high performance. I love bringing forth new ideas to the marketplace and discovering new and better ways to produce effectively while giving deeper meaning and fulfillment for all involved.

Our core company values such as “Teach as You Grow” and the joy of “Being of Service” aren’t just marketing-speak. They are the drivers of our business decisions.

We look at our individual and company behavior through the lens of our values and ask – what is needed and wanted to express those values at a greater Level?

When Scott shared with me the current state of many engineering firms and the impact that was having on the residential market needs as well as the downward spiral of salaries and retirement for engineers – I knew it was time to commit my own skills and talents to make a real difference.

Austin is my hometown (30+ years) and I love it. So, I had no idea all these years that I am actually a mountain girl! Now, I am hooked. And, any chance I have to explore the wild beauty of Utah, Colorado, or Wyoming, I take it. I keep sane with hot yoga and caring for my two giant malamutes, Togo and Daenerys. I enjoy adventures of all kinds with my husband – including the challenges of our 5 mostly-grown kiddos.

I believe that the success of an endeavor lies in the team behind the work and the leader directing its course. This is true for any projects being undertaken with the utmost consideration to life and safety and the impact they may have on the environment.

With more than 30 years in the field of structural engineering, I spearheaded the completion of multiple design projects using my expertise and passion but integrating value and uncompromising element into my services. It is this spirit that provides the driving forces behind my success in the field of engineering

From the Pacific to the East Coast, I have brought my knowledge and various experiences in design, construction, and management. I have designed different types of structures encompassing residential, commercial, retail, institutional and public works. These include residential houses and condominiums, schools, airport terminals, hospitals, hotels, historical buildings, offices, shopping complex, water and wastewater facilities. These are not only for the design of new structures but the renovation and retrofit of existing buildings. They included signature tenant improvements, façade repairs, curtain walls, vertical and horizontal building expansions, and structural repairs.

I have professional licenses in Hawaii, New York, Connecticut and Minnesota. The last two are currently inactive but could renew if there are projects. I have participated in committee works such as the structural review of the New York City Building Code and currently the New York City Existing Building Code with the objective of aligning the city code with the International Building Code and the International Existing Building Code. I have been a member of several engineering organizations such as the American Concrete Institute and Structural Engineering Association of New York to name a few.

My personal time has been devoted to my wife and kids but if I have some extra time will play a round of golf or hit some spares in the bowling alley. I am also an avid chess player which gives me the brain boost when trying to think of a solution for a project.

I think the foothold of the structural engineering profession in the industry is starting to lose its traction because the way the works of the engineers have been perceived. And that is, the engineers are out of reach by the community because they don’t cater to the people at the grassroots level.

However, this is entirely untrue, and so we are changing that. I have collaborated with Level Engineering to bring our profession to the community. Helping them to understand who we are and how we can help them. Our profession is now alive, strong and growing due to the efforts of Level Engineering.

With 16 years structural engineer experience, I have worked in several different fields of structural engineering. I have worked in new design, restoration of historic buildings and forensic engineering.

At each opportunity I have learned more about all aspects of building, restoration and design. I currently hold licenses in both Colorado and California.

My favorite aspect of engineering though, is helping people with their projects and dreams. No project is too big or small. I am here to help you find a successful solution. I love what we do and get to help people in their home’s vs being in an office.

When I am not helping the clients, I love to spend time with my family. We have two sons, one amazing daughter in law and a sweet, active grandson. We love to travel and see the world. I especially love to experience life like a local wherever we may go.

As a Colorado native with a civil engineering degree from CSU and over twenty years of structural engineering experience, I am excited to be a part of the Level Engineering team.

Having worked for several engineering firms for 9 years as well as owning my own engineering firm for 12 years, I have been involved in projects in Utah, Montana, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico. Though I specialize in custom homes, other interesting jobs in my portfolio include straw bale houses, a chord wood yurt, over 170 crawlspaces to basement conversions, and a fire station in Aspen.

My passion is the residential market as I believe I can make a difference for the homeowner. This passion began when I helped family and friends remodel and build their own homes. With this experience, I have a better understanding of all the pieces that are involved in the entire construction process.

My work does not end at a set of plans. It includes working with contractors to solve problems as they may arise in the field, collaborating with team members on solutions as well as incorporating the home owner’s ideas to deliver the best structure possible for their needs and dreams.

Having caught the travel bug years ago, my family and I really enjoy immersing ourselves into other cultures. More open-mindedness and seeing from other perspectives have been invaluable learning experiences. I relish the opportunity to learn about others values and views while at the same time spending time with my wife and daughter.

Growing up in Colorado and attending The University of Colorado at Boulder has developed in me a deep love for our amazing environment and the culture we have here on the Front Range. I spent the first seven years of my career working primarily as a field engineer looking for practical, hands-on solutions, in real-time. Now as part of the LEVEL Engineering Team, I get to apply the lessons I’ve learned to real challenges facing homeowners, contractors, architects, and real estate agents.

LEVEL Engineering drew me in with its mission and values. I am happy to say that LEVEL is made up of people who are individually and collectively committed to its core values. We walk our talk. I especially love our commitment to being of service to the people we call our customers. We always strive to do what’s best for our clients and their projects.

The thing that I enjoy most about my job is getting to meet people from all walks of life and working together to make our customers’ dreams a reality.

In my free time you can find me chasing our two delightful young children. I also enjoy exploring the world of adventure that the Colorado mountains provide via trail running, backpacking, climbing and just about anything else that is out there.

I grew up in Russia and have a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering.

After graduation, I moved to New York City and I spent the first eleven years of my career working primarily as an engineering consultant designing structural steel and reinforced concrete buildings, wood and timber framed construction, cold-formed construction, doing repair and restoration of historic structures, etc. I have built a reputation among developers, architects, and builders for providing innovative and cost-effective solutions.

Now I live in Florida, in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area with my family and helping Floridians to make their dreams a reality.

On the weekends, I love to play soccer, spend some time with my family and friends barbequing, fishing, and kayaking. We also enjoy traveling around the world.

In another life, I might have been an engineer or architect. After 7+ years working with such a talented and dedicated team, I’ve developed a deep respect and appreciation for these fields as their significance continues to grow.

I’m from Austin, TX and I studied Marketing at Texas State University, which laid the foundation for my career.

Throughout my time at Level Engineering, I’ve been immensely grateful for the journey and the opportunity to work with such a brilliant group of people.  My passion for marketing drives me, and I have expertise in branding, design, website development, user experience, and analytics. I enjoy combining strategic thinking and creative marketing ideas to advance our mission at Level. There’s a lot more to do for our local communities, our country, and even the world – I look forward to the journey.

Outside of work, you can find me podcasting, golfing, playing tennis, at a concert, or playing the guitar.

After graduating from University of Colorado at Boulder in 2016 with my engineering degree, I began my career in heavy civil construction where I gained a lot of hands-on experience.

Seeing how things were done in the field was a very important lesson that I try to take to the office every day. I migrated in my career to focusing on infrastructure design and construction of all types with a focus in water and wastewater infrastructure.

It was here that I found my passion and felt that I could make a genuine impact on the world. I joined LEVEL because of the values it holds and the service it promotes. These values and services have created a remarkable network of engineers dedicated to solving our client problems and is what drives me to become the best version of myself.

Outside of work, you can find my fiancé and me spending time in the mountains with our whacky German shepherd, Murphy.

I am an Operations Manager at Level, having recently been promoted from my previous position. I hold a B.S. in English from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I explored a diverse range of topics from 17th-century literature to technical writing in structural engineering, and even delved into a course dedicated entirely to Virginia Woolf. This academic background has fueled my passion for communication in all its forms.

My journey at Level began as an intern in 2019, and I returned in 2022 for a full-time position. In my role as Operations Manager, I oversee the integration process for Engineers and Architects joining Level, managing their training and onboarding. I find great satisfaction in witnessing A&E professionals become part of the Level collaborative, forming new friendships and partnerships, engaging with clients, and ultimately regaining their professional autonomy.

Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler and concert-goer, often attending shows of bands I’ve yet to discover. I’m also an aspiring novelist and a sports enthusiast, dividing my time between college football in the fall and Formula 1 racing in the spring and summer.
Go Vols!

After graduating college, I was commissioned as an officer into the U.S. Army and spent my first few years in service as a Combat Engineer at Fort Hood, Texas as well overseas in Bulgaria and Poland working with NATO and many of our American partners. After returning stateside, I was selected to serve as a technical engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District to manage and lead various projects in the states of Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Additionally, I worked in the Emergency Management Operations and provided management, support, and relief during Hurricane Dorian as well as the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Our team worked with both the Florida State Legislature as well as FEMA to design and construct an Alternate Care Facility at the Miami Beach Convention Center in order to increase Florida’s patient care capacity during the peak of the Covid-19 Outbreak in 2020. After completing my assignment with the Jacksonville District, I was selected to continue serving in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the Louisville District. As a Project Engineer, I oversaw the construction and turnover of the Multi-Use Helicopter Training Facility, the first project of its kind, for the Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

I have worked with multiple different contractors on many different projects ranging from $200,000 to $50,000,000 dollars in size. From coastal resiliency and civil work projects, to military construction and environmental impact projects, I have had the unique opportunity to be a part of many great teams that have accomplished incredible projects all over the country.

I have been passionate about Engineering since an early age, and am excited to continue to do what I love by serving the community and helping others in the process here at Level. I am excited to pivot my career from the military and begin pursuing residential, commercial, and forensic engineering in the Tampa Bay region. I look forward to tackling the many challenges that Engineers continue to face from environmental and societal impacts. My ultimate goal as an Engineer is to protect and preserve this wonderful world that we live in by designing and creating sustainable and clean solutions.

Having just moved from the Pacific Northwest, Colorado is now home. I’ve always had a sense of curiosity and an eagerness to solve problems, which eventually led me to where I am today. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Colorado at Denver. Currently, I am a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Oregon and Colorado.

The first 6 years of my career were spent as a structural engineer and a project engineer in the heavy civil industry. My work primarily focused on developing innovative construction methods, providing design of temporary structures, and providing other various construction engineering services for major marine and bridge projects. Having been involved in such projects, I’ve realized the importance of protecting and ensuring the sustainability of our built environment.

I am passionate about working closely with our clients and believe that by listening and doing what is right for everyone involved, we can come up with the best solutions. Success for me means success for everyone on the team, and that includes our clients. There is something rewarding about taking pride in a project together. As an engineer I strive to help our clients meet their goals, no matter what that may be.

An avid angler and marine life enthusiast, you will likely find me exploring the outdoors with a fishing pole in hand. That includes everything between ice fishing the frigid lakes of Minnesota, to catching Dungeness crabs on the Oregon coast.

Architect based in the city of Jacksonville, passionate about building design and construction. I believe my creativity, design ability, and management skills learned from 19 years of work have taught me how to deal with all the challenges and create efficient and workable solutions. I am an experienced architect with knowledge of working drawings and construction, and good project management.

My experience has given me a good understanding and:

Leadership. Lead role in numerous commercial, mixed-use, residential, and multi-family projects.

• Collaboration. Work closely with clients, contractors, and engineers to refine and value engineer projects to get the best results while maintaining the integrity of the design.
• Independence. Regularly work as sole contact for multiple projects while providing submittal and RFI responses and onsite inspections.

• Hard working, driven architect with a respect for detail and a passion for the design of space and the methods to create that space.

As a child my favorite game was always to do experiments and build things in my father´s carpentry workshop. My father wasn´t always happy to have me in his workshop, but that´s where I started my engineering path. Ever since, I´ve had a great need to live a creative life. To me, engineering is about mixing good theory and solid practice to build things that can be useful to us. I love working directly with my clients in solving their engineering needs and I enjoy very much every project I develop.

I am originally from the Faroe Islands, a sub-arctic, North-Atlantic region of Denmark, and I have 25 years of experience with engineering projects in Europe, Africa and South America. I´m a Mechanical Engineer with a Bachelor of Science from the Danish Technical University in Copenhagen, Denmark and a Master of Science from the Cranfield University in England. I specialize in structural calculations with the use of Finite Element Analyses and I have worked with marine structures, civil engineering structures, machine design, infrastructure projects and more.

Currently, I live in Brooklyn with my beautiful wife and 3 amazing children. In my spare time I enjoy jogging and have a passion for classic motorcycles and cars.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, I attended Oklahoma State University where I received my bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Following graduation, I worked to obtain my professional engineering license, which I currently hold in Oklahoma.

When I was a sophomore in college, I began working with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation as a co-op engineer intern. This entailed performing roadway design work for state highways in eastern Oklahoma, as well as various other projects throughout the state. This internship is what really sparked my love for civil engineering, and I was lucky enough to be able to pivot the internship into a full-time position following graduation.

After working in roadway design for three years, I transitioned to a project management role in one of ODOT’s field offices. There, I was able to be the project manager on projects totaling over $250 million, including the largest project in ODOT history at the time of its construction. I stayed in the field for several years, after which I accepted the position of Value Engineering & Estimates Coordinator for ODOT. Leading the state’s value engineering program and verifying the cost estimates for every project has been very fulfilling for me as I get to ensure that no taxpayer dollars are being wasted.

Wanting to connect with clients led me to Level Engineering, and I could not be happier. I can leverage my knowledge of civil engineering and construction, and my love for minimizing financial waste on projects, to really connect with our clients and ensure that they are getting the best product possible in a way that works best for them.

In my free time, I enjoy gardening and spending time with my husband and children. Watching my children learn the ins and outs of gardening through our greenhouse and year-round vegetable garden has been one of my favorite memories. They love to help me harvest our produce, and they enjoy delivering our excess to neighbors. They are the best little helpers!

I’m obsessed with homes. In 2021, my husband and I embarked on a journey when we moved from Southern California and transplanted our remolding and design business in Colorado. Eager to make friends and expand our network, I joined Level Engineering in January of 2023 as a customer service representative and have enjoyed merging my passion for customer satisfaction in the structural engineering industry. I love helping customers find a solution to issues they are finding in their homes and elevating the fear by getting a licensed engineered that is qualified to help ease their mind or help with an addition.

My diverse customer relations experience from cheering for the Los Angeles Raiders to performing to the top personal stylist at Nordstrom as well as my marketing experience at two title companies to designing homes for clients – has uniquely positioned me to provide top notch customer service at Level Engineering.

Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family and friends. We have 4 adult kids, 5 grandchildren, two cats and 1 handsome jack Russell. We love traveling, searching for the best live music in town, and exploring the beautiful colorful Colorado outdoors. Born in Michigan and growing up in Southern California has made transitioning to home in Northern Colorado an easy one. Colorado is a blend of both those states and we love it here!

Born in Oklahoma, raised all over the world as a military brat, I eventually made my way back and attended Oklahoma State University where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. Following graduation, I worked to obtain my professional engineering license, which I currently hold in Oklahoma.

When I was a junior in college, I joined the Army Reserves as a Bridging Engineer. This has some similarities to my civilian job as a civil engineer, in that attention to detail is paramount due to the dangerous nature of the job. I am still in the army reserves, conducting training evaluations for units in order to determine their overall preparedness. I also worked as a bridge maintenance engineer for the state of Oklahoma where I performed load ratings for new bridge projects and conducted inspections on bridges, which included rope access climbing of some bridges.

Wanting to connect directly with clients that I can help led me to Level Engineering, and I am very happy with where I have landed. Meeting the individual client and being able to personally help in their daily life is fulfilling. The reason I joined the Army Reserves and went into civil engineering was to help people. I can leverage my engineering expertise to better people’s lives and provide public safety.

In my free time, I enjoy watching hockey, practicing judo, performing archery and spending time with my wife and children. It is a joy to experience the world again through my kids’ eyes–watching them learn judo techniques, how to shoot their youth bows, and just generally experience the world anew.

I am a coastal Virginia native with a heart for the Florida sunshine. Since I was a kid, I have always loved problem solving and the process of creating beautiful infrastructure from nothing, even if that was simply a sandcastle on the beach. It was this problem-solving mindset that led me to pursue a career in engineering. After graduating from Old Dominion University with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, I quickly packed my bags and moved south, finding home in Jacksonville, FL.

Since starting my engineering career, I have gone on quite a journey. From engineering civil site design, to hydraulic structure design and river modeling, I have gained experience in a wide range of engineering projects. Most recently, I have had the privilege of leading engineering teams through multimillion dollar civil works, flood reduction and ecosystem restoration projects with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers throughout Florida and Puerto Rico.

Through these experiences, I have gained a wealth of structural, geotechnical and civil engineering knowledge, and have found that the most rewarding part of being an engineer is delivering quality projects to our clients and the community. I am proud to have been a part of many successful projects that have not only solved problems for people, but have also conserved and protected our waterways and natural resources – which we have in abundance of in the sunshine state.

Now, with the Level team, I look forward to each day where I have the opportunity to serve my local community and utilize my engineering knowledge to solve our client’s problems, however big or small. My passion is to work with each client and ensure that their project’s goals are met in every stage of the project’s design and construction. The leadership skills I have developed early in my career make me well equipped to work with contractors and engineers alike to ensure success of each project’s design, schedule and budget.

When I am not working, you can find me wakeboarding on the St. Johns River, surfing the waves of Jax Beach, or running around town training for my next adventure with my trusty yellow-lab, Leia.

Growing up in NY I spent my summers working for the family masonry construction business where I gained experience in the design and construction of masonry and concrete structures, experience I’ve drawn from throughout my engineering career. Interest in chemistry and electronics led me to a chemical engineering degree in my academic pursuit.

After working in various positions as a chemical engineer and gradually moving into environmental consulting, I found my passion in civil engineering working as a site civil engineer. With 20+ years’ experience I’ve worked on many various projects that include; residential and commercial site development, stormwater management and treatment, water and sewer utility design, culvert and bridge replacement and roadway design and rehabilitation.

The time I spent managing the capital improvement division in county government made me aware of the tenuous condition of our country’s public infrastructure. The aging of the built world is evident in the increasing need to repair, rehabilitate and replace existing buildings, facilities and infrastructure. Working with Level Engineering and our clients, I’m excited to work on how this gets done sustainably with consideration of the community and its natural resources.

When I’m not working on a client project, I’m working on one of my own. I enjoy completing landscape and hardscape projects around the house, performing maintenance, repair or modification on one of my vehicles or I’m away skiing.

I am a native Argentinian and a proud graduate of Florida International University, where I pursued my BS in Construction Management and MS in International Real Estate. I began my career in the architecture and construction industry in 2001. I started by working for prominent French and American construction companies in Florida, involving myself in all facets of civil, structural, and architectural projects. This experience made me realize my passion for the industry and desire to learn more.

After receiving my architectural license, I worked for some of Miami’s premier construction firms, assisting in designing and constructing numerous residential projects. In addition to practicing architecture, I’m currently working as a Structural Inspector for a South Florida city.

My success in architecture and construction can be credited to my intimate knowledge of both fields. My quest for excellence drives me to stay current with the industry’s latest technologies and trends. I hold a Florida Registered Architect License, an NCARB Certificate, and a Florida Certified Building Contractor License.

My goal is to provide cost-effective housing where comfort meets affordability; moreover, I see real estate development as a social and potentially even a humanitarian service, paying particular attention to integrating the natural and built environments. I focus on creative design solutions catering to each client’s needs. Architecture is a warm therapy session, a caring marriage, a fresh poem softly and virtually imperceptibly allowing you to be you, as blemish and magnificent as you are.

As a parent, I want to be an exceptional role model for my daughter and lead by example in demonstrating the pursuit of meraki. As a lifelong learner, I believe in investing in myself, whether it is through education or being on board with company culture initiatives. In my free time, I am seen at the sports club playing tennis, attending spinning classes, fishing with my daughter, or enjoying the vibrant hues of the sunset at the beach within the embrace of my family.

Being raised in Dallas, Texas and spending my collegiate career at Texas Tech, I’ve come to have a love and appreciation for all things Texas. From barbecue to Friday night lights, there is nothing I enjoy more than being able to give back to the state that made me who I am today.

At Texas Tech, I received my undergraduate and masters degrees in Civil Engineering with a focus on structures. Getting to have my work become a tangible part of the built world is what drew me to this career path. Following graduation, I got to connect with clients on a personal level in a sales engineering role for a structural analysis software. Wanting to get back to structural design, I then became a design engineer in Dallas where I was a part of a team that worked on projects including multifamily, education, residential and an assortment of commercial developments.

In 2018 I found myself looking for a change of scenery and ended up in Austin, Texas as a project manager for an international hotel Architecture and Engineering firm. While I still had my hands in the design aspect, I was awarded a position of leadership as Structural Director where I was able to return to fostering personal connections – this time with my team of engineers.

During the pandemic, I ventured out on my own as an independent structural engineer. Soon after, I found Level Engineering, and a team of like-minded individuals striving to work together to better the connection between our profession and the community around us. With my background in engineering and nack for customer relations, I couldn’t have found a better way to give back to my local community as the bridge between engineering concerns and making construction dreams a reality.

If you see me biking around Town Lake, dancing at one of the many live music venues, or rolling out with my truck camper, come say hi! I am always looking for a fun new adventure and people to meet along the way!

Ever since I was young, I knew I was going to be an engineer. I attended California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) and graduated with a BS in Architectural Engineering. I am from Southern California, but have always known I was going to end up in Texas, so when I was presented the opportunity to take a job in Texas, I got here as fast as I could. I hold Professional Engineering licenses in Texas, California, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

My career has given me the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects including residential additions, custom residences, small commercial buildings, and telecommunication structures including monopoles, towers, and rooftop structures. I also worked in the utility industry, designing concrete poles for transmission and distribution lines and sports lighting.

With over 17 years of engineering experience, my passion has always been structural engineering and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to engage more with clients to help them with their projects and meeting their needs. I’m thrilled to be a part of the Level Engineering team, whose ideology and values put the client first and support the engineer to ensure successful projects and relationships.

I am a Colorado native and have spent most of my life in Colorado enjoying the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery! For the past four years I have been blessed to work on the Artemis mission at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and currently reside in the Space Coast near Kennedy Space Center. I attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins Colorado for my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering. While at CSU I met my amazing wife and we have been blessed with five children in our thirteen years of marriage! Currently I maintain Professional Engineering Licenses in Colorado, Wyoming, and Florida, and have practiced engineering in many other states and countries as well.

Throughout my sixteen-year career. I have been able to work on a broad variety of interesting and rewarding projects including concrete gravity dams, thin arch dams, open pit mines, coal, and natural gas power plants, hotel and condo towers, as well as launch facilities and rockets. I have worked on projects of all sizes from small projects in the thousands to large multi-billion-dollar projects. During my last four years at Kennedy Space Center, I have led a team of highly skilled Civil and Mechanical Engineers in preparing the launch facilities and vehicle processing structures for the Artemis mission as we work to send Humans back to the moon for the first time in 50 years. After a successful Artemis One mission in November of 2022, work has diligently progressed to prepare for the first human mission that will orbit the moon during Artemis Two.

During my career I have thoroughly enjoyed engaging with clients and solving complex problems. I am fascinated by structures whether it be a bridge, dam, or building and love investigating the complex components that help a building stand up. At Level Engineering, I am thrilled to investigate further the complex issues that arise in structures of all shapes and sizes and to develop solutions that can fit your budget and address the concerns that you have with your house or building!  

When I am away from work, I enjoy taking walks along the beach or sneaking away to snowboard in Colorado. I love being a husband and a father and thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family and working on home improvement projects in and around my house.
