What do you do for work?

I am a senior transportation engineer for Bolton & Menk's Transportation group in Burnsville, Minnesota. Typical project responsibilities include project management, preliminary and final roadway design, and preparation of plans and specifications.

Tell us about your role on the ASCE board?

I was just elected President-Elect, which starts a three-year term as a presidential officer for the Section.

What previous positions have you held with ASCE?

I have been involved with ASCE since 2002 where I was treasurer for the student chapter (2003-2004) and co-captain of the concrete canoe team (2003-2004). After graduation I joined the Younger Member Group and was president of the group (2009-2012). I have also held various leadership positions in ASCE MN Section including Director of Committees (2012-2014), ASCE Leadership Conference Chair (2016-2017), Director of Events (2014-2017) and the Section’s Treasurer (2017-2019). I have also been an active member of the Section’s Transportation Committee. In 2014, He was named the ASCE MN Section Younger Engineer of the Year.

What’s the coolest thing you are working on right now?

I just built an outdoor playhouse for my daughters from scratch, complete with a swing set and slide. The project ended up taking longer than expected but was fun to work on a project with the entire family.

Favorite way to spend your weekends?

I do my best to set aside weekends to spend time with my wife, twin daughters and three pups. We like spending summers at Target Field with the MN Twins and the fall at TCF Bank Stadium with the Gophers. My daughters are starting to really love soccer, so I see lots of weekends fall of soccer games in my future 😊.
