Adam has been a member of the DCI family for over a decade, climbing the ranks from Intern to Senior Project Manager and now Associate Principal. Driven by a passion for structural behavior and modeling, Adam engineers by interpreting the system - be it computer program input and output or jurisdictional standards. He believes successful engineering begins with mastering the framework. He believes that first-principles are the key to all successful engineering projects, no matter how simple or how complex.
Adam is a graduate of the University of Illinois: Urban Champaign and earned his Master's in Structural Engineering from Stanford University. Throughout his career with DCI, he's taken on several higher education projects, including spearheading the primary gravity and lateral design of the Cal State San Marcos Student Union, as well as managing the design of the University of Oregon Recreational Facility. Throughout his career with DCI, he has create a niche for himself in “odd projects”. Starting with seismic upgrades of historic structures, he dealt with 100-year-old timber beams and seismic behavior of nontraditional lateral systems. This formed the basis for his specialties in modern mass timber design and high-rise steel modular project.
Adam is a recipient of the DJC Phenom award and is involved in the ASCE 41 National Committee.
