I create weekly videos on: - Helping civil and structural engineering students and graduates secure the best career opportunities in the structural engineering industry. - Helping young structural engineers advance in their careers. - Hints, tips, advice and my insights as a practicing structural engineer. I'm a structural project manager in California with an undergraduate degree from Cal Poly Pomona and a master's degree from UC San Diego. My career so far has allowed me to design and manage various types of building structures, ranging from residential wood apartment buildings, commercial steel buildings, and concrete parking structures and towers.
