Fun Fact

I view a building as a work of impressionist art: countless components – which on their own are albeit unimpressive – fitted together and relying on one another to form a cohesive masterpiece. I am endlessly fascinated by this concept and feel lucky to be a part of that process as an engineer. I originally pursued structural engineering for the beautiful blend of complex mathematical theory and artful practicality. Only after entering the workforce did I realize my true passion for the profession is fueled by the collaboration between engineers, architects, and contractors to find safe, beautiful, and economical solutions to design and construction challenges. In my opinion, the solution discovered in good company is far more rewarding than one found alone. In summary: my passion for problem solving is rooted in the joy of collaboration. When I am not dual wielding my calculator and steel manual, I enjoy learning obnoxious children’s songs on the guitar for my daughter, going on neighborhood walks with Annie the over-zealous Golden Retriever, planning dream home makeovers with my wife (just knock out that wall!), and forever searching for a cider that is just dry enough, but not too dry.

I joined Lund Opsahl in 2020 to continue being a proactive player in keeping the community safe on the seismic prone west coast.  Prior to joining Lund Opsahl, I was a Design Engineer at Tower Engineering Company, where I focused my efforts on essential communication structures and government special-use facilities.
