I have worked as an engineer since 1988 when I completed my
doctoral work at Princeton with David Billington. After 12 years of
bridge design with T.Y. Lin International, I moved to building design
with ZFA in Santa Rosa CA. I started on my own in 2002 and have
been busy ever since. It is a delight to work as an engineer in support
of natural and green building. It is a joy to create, and support the
creation of, places that nourish the heart.
