Summary

I have been exposed to the construction and engineering industry all my life. My father is a lead architectural and civil engineer and at a young age he used to take me on jobsites and expose me to construction drawings. This exposure showed me the endless possibilities with design & construction, which fueled my passion for the industry and led me to where I am today.
