Experience

Pierce Engineers, Inc.

• Principal

  • Sep 2003 - Present

  At Pierce Engineers, I am responsible for project engineering and management, directing and providing technical expertise and creative solutions for project team members on all phases of the project. I am adept at providing cost effective, constructible solutions to complex engineering challenges. My primary background is with structural steel framed systems and seismic design, but I also have experience in reinforced and precast concrete, cold formed metal framing, masonry, and wood design. I have consulted for vibration monitoring during construction, demolition, and excavation. I am a project engineer on a variety of projects in various market sectors, including adaptive reuse and historic renovation, educational, commercial, hospitality, industrial, multi-family residential, long term care and medical building projects. Outside of the office, I am active within the local education community, serving as a Senior Design Project Juror at MSOE, providing structural advising for the IP-BIM Studio for UWM School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and serving on the advisory committee for WCTC's Architectural Drafting/Construction Technology program. In my free time I enjoy cooking, gardening, travelling, cycling, and fiber art.
