What is your favorite part of your job?

Problem solving – Tackling complex challenges: Every project is a puzzle—balancing client needs, site constraints, budgets, and regulations. Using technology to solve building system malfunctions. Tackle structural, aesthetic, environmental, and human needs all at once.

Who are you outside of Gale?

In addition to working on a project at home or camping with the family, I am a husband and father. Being a husband is about showing up every day with love, respect, and intention. Being a father is one of the most profound and multifaceted roles a person can take on. It’s about presence, responsibility, and love.
