What do you enjoy doing outside of the office?
I am a history and railroad/streetcar buff, and an avid fan of the Baltimore Blast indoor soccer team.

When did you know you wanted to become an engineer?
I wanted to be an architect when I was a kid and ended up doing the electrical design for buildings when I was hired by an M/E/P engineer on work study from Eastern Vo-Tech High School.
