What project(s) are you most proud to have worked on?

I’ve worked on a few large-scale transportation projects over the last several years and I really enjoy working as a part of a team on the designs. Gathering input from multiple disciplines has been a great learning experience and I think lends itself to a better product. 

Who is someone you’ve worked with at WSB that has really inspired or influenced you? 

Ted Witkowski. When I first met him, I was really nervous to ask him questions or frankly to even get near his cube. But he was the guy you went to that always had an answer and remembered everything he ever built. He begrudgingly trained our entire Water Resources group, would drop everything to help out, and I sure miss him. 

What do you think WSB does really well that more people should know about?   

We genuinely want to help clients solve problems and are invested in finding solutions.

What keeps you excited about working at WSB? 

The teams I work with and incredibly talented staff in Water Resources. We’ve built a very supportive culture where staff are willing to help hit deadlines, problem solve, commiserate, and celebrate accomplishments.
