Who We Are

Summit Engineering was founded to address the need for clear big picture thinking integrated with attention to technical details and absolute follow through.

Partner at Summit Engineering is a native to Durango, Colorado. He graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University. He has 10 years of experience in civil and structural engineering and is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Colorado.

His passion for communication and building relationships reinforces his engineering and project management skills.
