What is your favorite thing about your work environment?

Our Montana offices have highly intelligent, creative and well-rounded engineers with hobbies and passions outside the workplace. Most of my favorite people are the ones I work with every day.

If you weren't an engineer, what would you be?
An event planner. I love helping people, making connections and building social events for my employees and our clients.

What is your favorite place or building in Montana?
Bridger Bowl Ski Area in Bozeman, MT. It's 15 minutes from my doorstep, our children have grown up skiing there. It's amazing to see a community-owned ski operation thrive and support our families.
