Projects included a wide range of building types, including unique custom single-family residences, multi-family residential buildings, university classroom buildings, hotels and lodges, office buildings, golf course clubhouses, churches, a pedestrian and snow cat bridge, seismic analysis and retrofit, theaters, college and university facilities, museums, libraries and a flagship store for a major brand. Experience
MAY 2011 - PRESENT
Early Retirement /Extended Sabbatical
I closed my structural engineering firm emergent structures in May 2011 after 2- years in business, and turned my attention to continuing to help raise my young twin daughters. I went through a divorce during this time, and tried to adjust to my new situation as a divorced single parent. I also dealt successfully with some health issues in the early days of this time. I was burned out on Structural Engineering and decided to take an early retirement from this profession after a 30-year career. Later, I sought and found a special woman in my life. I have personal expenses, and dwindling retirement resources, which have caused me to try to reenter the workforce at this time. I am excited and motivated to work at something meaningful again.

OCTOBER 1997 - AUGUST 2008
Forell/Elsesser Engineers, Inc., San Francisco, CA - Associate
● Provided professional consulting structural engineering services, all phases.
● As an Associate, helped manage a world- class firm of 40 structural engineers.
● Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Fire Station Seismic Upgrade, Stanford University, CA I conceptualized a seismic retrofit scheme that took advantage of existing structural elements to accomplish much of the retrofit on the exterior of the existing building. This was necessary to respond to a very tight seismic retrofit budget. I completed all structural design and detailing through the construction documents phase.
● Mission College Library and Telecommunications Center, Santa Clara, CA, MBT Architecture This single-story library structure used exposed site cast tilt-up concrete wall panels for about half of the building’s volume. The concrete wall panels acted as shear walls to resist seismic loads. The panels were 2-stories high at the rooftop mechanical space, to act as a screen. The roof in this area was of composite steel framing. The concrete slab acted as a diaphragm to distribute lateral loads to the shear wall panels. Special concentric braced frames were used as necessary. The roof was framed with longspan steel trusses at the stack areas to provide column-free space. A continuous skylight element running much of the length of the building was framed with a diagonally-braced horizontal truss, to knit the roof diaphragm back together at this location. Steel beams and metal roof deck comprised the balance of the roof framing.
● Mission College Science and Technology Center, Santa Clara, CA MBT Architecture This 2-story building on the Mission College campus followed the earlier very successful Library project. Exposed site cast tilt-up concrete wall panels formed much of the exterior shell and lateral load resisting shear wall system, augmented by Special Concentric Braced Frames where necessary. A complete gravity load system was provided independent of exterior concrete walls for the increase in seismic performance it offers. Composite steel framing was provided at the second floor, while the roof was framed with structural steel and metal roof deck.
● Levi’s Flagship Store, Union Square, San Francisco, CA Checkland Kindleysides, UK and HOK Architects I led the structural design of this project through all phases, from Conceptual Phase through Construction Administration. This was an ambitious and 2
complete remodel and reconfiguration of a prominently situated building in Union Square to turn it into a global l Levi’s Flagship Store, the largest one of it’s kind. It presented many unique structural challenges. Some of these are as follows: a new elevator over existing concrete floor structure which needed strengthening, new reinforced concrete pan joist infill at the first level, new floor openings at the second floor front facade which required diagonal bracing to complete the diaphragm, new three-level central interior circular stair, new third floor structural steel mezzanine with a ribbed reinforced concrete ellipsoidal floor element, supported by and made composite with a 2-story steel moment frame. The store comprises 24,000 square feet. The entire building exterior was reclad with precast concrete cladding. I led this project through all design phases and through construction administration.
● 450 Rhode Island, San Francisco, CA STUDIOS Architecture I led the structural design services and project management for all phases of this urban mixed-use project through 90% construction documents. The building as designed comprised some 500,000 square feet, including 2 levels of below-grade parking, and occupied a sloping full city block. The building was designed as a post-tensioned concrete flat plate gravity system, with reinforced concrete shear walls. The building was generally 8 stories tall, with 3 stories as below-grade parking. A steel framed, glazed ‘spine’ element ran the length of the building at mid-block. Estimated construction cost is $100 million to $125 million. This project was not built.
● Martin Luther King Jr. Library, San Jose, CA Anderson Brule / Gunnar Birkerts Architects This very large library (480,000 sf of program space), 8 stories over a full basement, is jointly shared by the City of San Jose and the San Jose StateUniversity. The building is of composite structural steel construction, with an eccentric braced frame (EBF) lateral system. My role on this project was the complete design of all foundation elements, including piles and pile caps to support all gravity and seismic loads developed by the EBFsystem, and design of a waterproof mat foundation to resist 15 feet of hydrostatic pressure, as well as net uplift forces developed by the EBF elements in a design seismic event. Total construction cost for this project was $171 million.
● John Daly Library and War Memorial Community Center Daly City,, CA Mock Wallace Architects, Barcelon and Jang Architects This project combined a recreation and community center with a library for the municipality of Daly City. The project was built into a hillside, and the building massing required seismic joints to divide the building into 3 separate structural systems above the foundation level. The 2 southernmost volumes incorporated 2 full size gymnasiums, framed with long-span curved top-chord steel trusses. The northernmost volume, housing meeting rooms, offices and the library was framed in composite steel framing at floors, and bare steel framing and roof deck at the roof. Lateral systems were Special Concentric Braced Frames, with reinforced shotcrete shear walls at the lowest level. The project comprised approximately 42,000 square feet of program space. The construction cost was $10.5 million.
● Morgan Hill Public Library, Morgan Hill, CA Noll & Tam Architects This single-story library building with high-volume roof spaces was framed in structural steel and metal roof deck. The lateral system was comprised of Special Concentric Braced Frames (SCBF’s). The main 3
reading room is a high-volume space framed with graceful steel trusses and with tall windows to the north side. The building comprises 28,000 square feet, with main reading room, childrens’ area, stacks, meeting room, bookstore, and offices program areas. Construction cost was approximately $19 million.
● Kramlich Residence, Oakville, CA Herzog and deMeuron Architects We were invited into this project when the original structural steel roof for the above grade glass pavilion structure, designed by others, came in significantly over budget at approximately $700,000. The roof structure was to be clad in a PTFE (Teflon) coated structural fabric membrane. I studied this condition, and determined that the roof membrane could be it’s own structure
(support itself) if propped periodically by struts from the flat roof framing below. This would eliminate many large and expensive tube steel frames and infill framing. It would require a slight change in the architectural concept, but held many advantages, and would save approximately $400,000 in structural steel at the roof. We developed a conceptual plan, communicated it to the Swiss Architects, and were invited to their office in Basel, Switzerland to present our concept to the Principals, and to work together for a week in their office. The presentation was well-received, and our framing and structural concept was adopted. The pavilion roof was approximately 70’ x 210’, with long tapered cantilevers to a 4” ‘knife edge’ at the perimeter. A pair of continuous W36 beams spaced nominally 40 feet apart, oriented longitudinally, are upset and wander the roof between column locations below, before flaring to the corners at either end. Underslung W14 filler beams span in the transverse direction between the W36 girders, and cantilever and are tapered to the roof edges. The lateral system was initially Special Concentric Braced Frames in both directions. This eventually evolved to all pipe columns resisting lateral loads as cantilevers. This system is often used in glass pavilions of this type. Eventually the roof surface evolved away from the structural membrane material, to aluminum cladding. The Kramlich’s have an unsurpassed collection of video art. This facility, including a large underground bunker
(much of which was already built when we got involved in the project) was built to store and exhibit this extensive collection. The Kramlich’s were dream clients in every way, allowing the Architects and Engineers the ability to develop the design of this project in the best way possible over the course of many years. The completed project is a testament to the Architects vision and skill, and to the Kramlich’s patience and passion for the integrity of the design.
● Contemporary Art Museum at the Presidio (CAMP), The Presidio, San Francisco, CA Gluckman Mayner Architects, WRNS Studio I was instrumental in winning this project for the Forell/Elsesser office, through participation in early conversations, interviews, and a tour of some of the Fisher’s contemporary art collection. The building is composed of two large rectangular spaces, oriented slightly offset to one another. Additionally, there is a 20 foot high basement below. Composite steel framing is used at the structured floors, while steel beams and metal deck support the roof. Large cantilevers at the building main entry required special attention. The museum floor design was characterized by heavy floor loads
(for the placement of monumental sculpture) and long floor spans. The seismic load resisting system was Buckling Resistant Braced Frames (BRBF). This is a relatively new technology which offers reliable strength and ductility in a seismic event.. This building 4
design comprises 100,000 square feet of program space. We took the design of this project through 90% Construction Documents. The construction cost is estimated to be $35 million to $40 million. This building was not built.
● Pixar Phase 2 Animation Studios, Emeryville, CA Allied Works, Architects I was instrumental in winning this project for the Forell/Elsesser office, through participation in early conversations and interviews. I worked as Project Manager from the Concepts phase through early Design Development phase. The building is a modern 4-story animation studio built of composite structural steel and reinforced concrete, comprising 155,000 square feet of program space. This included animation studio space, a small theater, screening rooms, common atrium, a kitchen and employee amenities, and volleyball and basketball courts. The construction cost for this ambitious building was $64 million.
● San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Skybridge, San Francisco, CA, Jensen Architects, Jensen and Macy Architects I led the early stages of design for this 100 foot longspan box Vierendeel glass-clad 3-dimensional truss bridge which connected the existing third floor of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to a new sculpture garden being created on the roof of an adjacent existing parking structure. The bridge was steel framed, with steel moment frames in the transverse direction, and a composite concrete and steel beam floor structure. I took the design from concept phase, through schematic and design development phases.
● Napa Valley College Performing Arts Center, Napa, CA HGA Architects This building is the new Performing Arts Center for Napa Valley College, with a student population of 8500 students. The building is conceived as a series of rectangular masses that house different functions,, with reinforced concrete wall, steel framing and steel Special Concentric Braced Frames. These are punctuated with glass voids which lend transparency and let the lighting shine through at night. Roof construction is of conventional steel framing with metal roof deck. The building has a 550-seat proscenium theater with fly tower, a black-box theater for more intimate and experimental work, and a music recital space all easily accessible from the high-ceilinged main lobby. The lobby is clad in floor-to-ceiling glass, features a long cantilever entry canopy, and glows warmly when lit from within at night. The building also contains spaces for theater, choral, orchestral and piano rehearsal, as well as a scene and costume shop. The building is a state-of-the-art performance and teaching venue, and furthers the college’s goals to promote learning and engagement in the performing arts among its students. The total size of the building comprises 48,000 square feet of program space. The total cost of construction was $32 million.
● University of California Santa Cruz Humanities Complex, Santa Cruz, CA Thomas Hacker Architects This is a new four building Humanities Complex for the University of California Santa Cruz. Nestled in a site surrounded by mature redwood trees, three of the buildings are classroom and faculty offices; these range from 8-story, 6-story and 4-story composite steel-framed floors with seismic force resisting systems of reinforced concrete shear walls in the transverse direction, and steel Special Moment Resisting Frames in the longitudinal direction. Foundations for these steel-framed classroom and faculty office buildings are reinforced concrete mat foundations, to respond to the site’s Karst geology. The fourth building is a single-story, high volume lecture hall with a raked floor, framed with long-span 5
glu-laminated timbers and tongue and groove composite wood decking. Glu-lam columns support the long-span glu-lam roof beams. The lateral system is plywood sheathed shear walls, and the foundations are reinforced concrete spread footings. The total size of this project is 85,000 square feet of program space. Total construction cost is estimated to be
$25.5 million.

● Stanford Hospital - New2-Story Atrium and Cantilever Entry Canopy Palo Alto,, CA Fong and Chan Architects Moved the front facade out 5 feet and created a two-story atrium space. Designed and detailed a 30 foot tapered structuraal steel cantilevered roof canopy at the building entry, tied into the existing reinforced concrete columns., to support all gravity and seismic loads.
● Pacific Heights Residence, San Francisco, CA Robert A.M. Stern Architects - sing;e story addition, seismic retrofit and new ‘lantern’ cupola element at roof. The ‘lantern’ cupola element was designed and detailed so that it could be completely shop-fabricated including the structure, and exterior and interior finishes, trucked to the site, craned into place atop the roof, and bolted down to complete the assembly. This was a very cost-effective and efficient construction method for this element.
● Aman Lodge, Jackson Hole, WY, Ed Tuttle Architect This sprawling 3-story luxury hotel project consists of 40 private rooms, 20 in each of two long wings which project from the center entrance, lobby, and amenities hub. This central hub includes a library, restaurant, exercise room and spa, meeting rooms and offices, and a high volume column free room with floor to ceiling views of the Grand Tetons. This hub is framed in structural steel, and features Special Moment Resisting Frames in both directions. Mezzanine spaces in this hub are of composite steel frame construction, with special concentric braced frames to resist lateral loads. The projecting 3-story wings which comprise the guest rooms are of conventional wood framing, with plywood sheathed shear walls to resist lateral loads. The hotel is built into a hill, and features rich natural finishes throughout. There is a 115’ infinity pool, with stunning views of the valley. A single-level underground parking garage has a post-tensioned flat slab lid. Construction cost was approximately $30 million. JUNE 1988 - FEBRUARY 1996

● Parker Recreation Center, Parker, CO Nixon and Associates, Architects This municipal recreation center has a large gymnasium, a natatorium, locker rooms, meeting rooms, an aerobics studio, and a weight lifting area on two levels. Perimeter walls were of vertically voided 12” x 12” x 8” reinforced structural brick. These walls were gravity load supporting and also provide the lateral load resisting system for the building. Slender wall design was used at the tall gymnasium and natatorium walls. Roofs are of steel bar joist and metal roof deck construction. The 2nd floor areas were of composite steel construction. These floors in the vicinity of the aerobics room were analyzed for vibrations; the steel beams were made stiffer and the concrete slab was thickened in these areas to increase damping. The building comprised 34,400 square feet. Construction cost was approximately $10.3 million.
● Sonnenalp Hotel, Phases 1 and 2, Vail, CO Gordon Pierce Architects The original Sonnenalp Hotel was almost completely demolished to make way for a new, modern first-class hotel in every way. The new hotel was built over 2 construction seasons, in two separate phases. The resulting combined building has 88 luxury suites, 2 hotel rooms, 2 restaurants, a bar, a luxurious spa, and many conference and meeting rooms. Phase 1 was of composite steel framed construction, with ordinary concentric steel braced frames and concrete shear wall construction. Phase 2 was constructed of 8” precast hollow core plank with precast concrete bearing and shear walls. The roof of both Phase 1 and Phase 2 was of steel frame and metal roof deck construction. The lateral system at the roof comprised ordinary concentric steel braced frames. The roofs had many dormers, hips and valleys, and 13 different roof pitches. In Phase 2, we worked out and depicted explicitly in the structural drawings all top of steel elevations and work points needed for detailing. This saved countless hours of time during the detailing of the structural steel, and work proceeded smoothly. The Sonnenalp Hotel in Vail is renowned as one of the finest hotels in the world. Total construction cost was approximately $60 million.
● Tibetan Stupa, Crestone, CO Sacred Architecture, Dr. Phil Tabb. This 40 foot tall hollow stupa ceremonial structure was constructed of reinforced site cast concrete, with some precast concrete elements. The stupa is located in the Sangre de Christo mountains above Crestone.
● Pojoaque Pueblo Indian Casino, Pojoaque, New Mexico Dennis Holloway, Architect This steel-framed building comprises two distinct volumes, a high volume cylinder with a shallow dome roof, and a 2-story rectangular block, measuring 180’ x 80’. These two volumes are separated by a seismic joint, so effectively each one works independently. The dome roof is a shallow 10 foot height, 120 foot diameter span, steel framed Schwedler dome, with meridional ribs, rings, and diagonal struts. The shallow dome structure was analyzed for stability against ‘snap-through’ effects using specialized 3-dimensional ‘large displacement’ structural analysis software. The dome is supported by steel columns at the perimeter of the cylinder volume. At four locations around the cylinder perimeter, 2-bay ordinary concentric diagonal braced frames resist all lateral loads. The rectangular volume is of composite steel 2nd floor framing with concrete-filled metal deck and interior columns. The roof framing is 80’ span roof trusses and metal roof deck. Ordinary concentric diagonal braced frames on all four sides of this rectangular volume resist lateral loads. The building 7
as designed comprises approximately 43,500 square feet. Construction cost was estimated at approximately $13 million. This building was not built.

Nicol and Giltner, Boulder, CO - Project Engineer
● Provided professional consulting structural engineering services, all phases.
● Park Place Office Building, Boulder, CO, Junge Reich Heinz and Magee Architects I served as Project Engineer for this 5-story steel composite braced-frame office building. The building features long cantilevers at brick-clad exterior balconies. I designed the gravity load resisting system, all elevated floors and roof framing, and I designed the spread footing foundations, including for conditions of net uplift. I worked on this project through the construction administration phase.
● Maroon Creek Club (formerly Owl Creek Club, Grand Champion’s Club), Aspen, CO, Aspen Design Group I worked as a Project Engineer on this building, and performed all construction administration. This is a large tennis and fitness club, with four regulation tennis courts under roof comprising 3/4 of the building. The tennis court roof was supported by single interior glu-laminated ‘tree’ columns made up of four ‘Tudor’ arch members, oriented back-to-back at midspan, between each tennis court. These columns reached up to support a pair of 10 3/4” x 60” glu-laminated beams between each pair of courts. The columns had giant steel compression rings at their spring points, and steel tension rings at the roof. Infill glu-laminated beams supported tongue and groove laminated wood structural roof decking. Much of the balance of the building roof was framed with 8-3/4” x 25” glu-laminated beams, the default minimum size for the massing of the project. A concrete wall separated the tennis courts from the other amenities (locker rooms, exercise and aerobic facilities, offices etc.). A structural steel plate extended from the base of the long concrete wall to the massive roof beam overhead. This steel plate was stiffened with glu-laminated timbers bolted to it on each side. The plate was securely fastened to the concrete wall as well as to the roof beam overhead. Dubbed ‘The Monolith’, this cantilevered steel plate element worked to resist lateral loads. It alone carried nearly 70% of the lateral loads for the building in that direction. Plywood sheathed shear walls and ordinary concentric steel braced frames comprise the balance of the lateral system. The building comprises 72,000 square feet. Construction cost was approximately $21.6 million. 9
