PROFILE

I have had the great pleasure of earning my Professional Engineering licensure at a company that has provided me incredible growth opportunity. I graduated from a prestigious engineering school that laid a solid foundation on which to build an influential career in project engineering and management. I take ownership in everything that I do and I am hon-

ored to share my life with others. Through teaching opportunities and setting a strong example, I strive to bring out the best in those I have an influence on. My life revolves around humbly impacting everything I am a part of, and doing everything I can to improve the lives of others. I am currently looking to relocate to Michigan from Colorado.
