What made you decide to become an engineer?
I have always loved building things! As a kid I was the typical boy who loved Lincoln Logs and erector sets. It also helped that my dad was a civil engineer who owned his own business and always had me help him when he could. I loved watching him and was in awe of what he did. In short, it's in my blood!
