What is your favorite part of your job?

From solving prematurely deteriorating building enclosure conditions to evaluating existing buildings for performance and construction industry standards, the most enjoyable part of my job is the variety of work that I get to be a part of.

Who are you outside of Gale?

I am the father of a feisty 11-year-old daughter who enjoys horseback riding. I’m an avid lover of hiking, fishing, and camping. I’m involved in an Offroad Jeep Club that not only participates in trial rides but is heavily active in the preservation of land for all public use as well as educating the community about responsible trail riding practices. I enjoy tinkering with engines and just about anything mechanical. I spent the last few years rebuilding an offroad vehicle as well as renovating my home.
