What interests you most about geotechnical engineering?:
Geotechnical engineering is the discipline where the built environment meets the earth. Every project location is unique.

Favorite meal?:
Spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, and caesar salad. Preferably, the sauce is scratch made (with the key ingredient being San Marzano tomatoes) and the caesar salad is the secret family recipe.

Favorite activity outside of work?:
I always enjoy a good rafting trip!
