What I'm looking for

I'm looking to connect technical expertise with people and process, solve complex design and construction challenges, improve project delivery, and maintain quality, momentum, and responsive client service.

At Solid Plan Engineering, I lead residential and light commercial structural engineering services as Senior Principal Engineer and Founder.

I turn complex design and construction challenges into practical, well-coordinated solutions, drawing on hands-on experience with timber, concrete, and steel construction.

Before founding Solid Plan Engineering, I co-founded Simply Strong Engineering and worked as a Project Engineer at Lovelace Engineering. I bring an owner's perspective to project priorities, client service, accountability, and business performance.

I enjoy connecting technical expertise with people and process—translating complicated issues into clear decisions, improving how work gets done, and helping teams maintain quality and momentum.
