Ian has always enjoyed building and understanding how things work. As a freshman in college, he helped a friend and his uncle build a new residential house. Working with the structural drawings and framing the house set Ian on the path toward structural engineering.
As a structural engineer, Ian is responsible for structural investigations, analyses, designs, preparation of construction documents, and construction administration for buildings and special projects. Among these special projects, he¡¯s found historic renovations to be the most rewarding in being able to learn from predecessors by preserving and enhancing their craftsmanship. He¡¯s also worked on the restoration of oceanfront high-rise structures, concrete repair, and marine structures.
When he isn¡¯t helping to inspect or design new structures, Ian enjoys spending time outdoors with my family, especially on their boat.
