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).

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 😊.
