Additional Information

In my current profession, I routinely review truss calculations provided by third parties for use with drafting projects. I am familiar with the the layouts and most aspects of the calculations provided. As a part of my current profession I am accustomed to learning new information, as the California building code is constantly changing and new and better ways of building are introduced. I am also accustomed to learning new software and calculations, and use spreadsheets on a daily basis to calculate natural light and ventilation in buildings. I am also accustomed to continuing my education through online classes, college class rooms and seminars.
