Team

With a broad background primarily designing steel, conventionally reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, and high seismic structures, my passion is the structural design of major healthcare structures and new parking garages. I received my undergraduate civil engineering degree from Ohio Northern University and master’s degree from the University of Cincinnati. My favorite part about working in the construction industry is watching my projects come to fruition through collaboration with owners, clients, and design and construction teams. As a working mom, I feel a strong sense of pride when my kids understand how my work contributes towards bettering others’ lives.

I enjoy presenting about the civil and structural engineering profession to students of all ages. I host and coordinate THP’s job shadows, and have three semesters of adjunct professor experience teaching steel and concrete design at Cincinnati State. My passion for engineering and desire to share it with others led me to the Structural Engineers Association of Ohio (SEAoO), where I am currently the Membership Committee Chair and serve on the Basic Education (college outreach), Continuing Education (professional development), Young Members and Annual Conference Committees. I also served as the Basic Education Chair (four years) and Director (three years) before stepping into the President-Elect, President, and Past-President roles.

As THP’s resident baker, I love sharing my famous chocolate chip cookies with construction teams and THP. My day-to-day free time is filled with walks to the playground, Hot Wheels ramps, and Play-Doh, but I also enjoy cake decorating, ocean paddle boarding, relaxing on the beach, and playing/coaching softball. I reside in Wyoming, Ohio with my husband and young son and daughter. Upon retirement, I aspire to open a beachside bakery and ice cream shop in the Florida panhandle.

My professional involvements and awards include:

• American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE; six years judging regional Concrete Canoe Competitions)
• American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
• International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI)
• Structural Engineering Institute (SEI)
• Structural Engineers Association of Ohio (SEAoO; 2019 Young Engineer of the Year)

My interest in architecture and design began during my junior year in high school, when I enrolled in an architectural drafting class. This experience combined my artistic ability, creativity, and attention to detail to develop hand-produced drawings. The teacher pushed me to pursue a career in the design industry. I completed my associate’s degree in civil engineering technology — architectural major at Cincinnati State in 1993 and was introduced to Computer Aided Design (CAD). My career at THP began in 1995 when I was offered the job on the spot. I started immediately by preparing construction and presentation documents for some of the largest projects in the region.

After 25 years of experience at the firm, I’ve had the pleasure of working on complicated and interesting projects with talented co-workers. I’ve become well-rounded in all aspects of the construction industry, specializing in large-scale site development, parking garages, concrete, and steel structures, along with architecture and restoration projects. In addition to CAD, I’ve mastered the latest Building Information Modeling (BIM) applications to better adapt to the changing needs of the industry.

A Cincinnati native, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family in the Loveland area. There’s never a dull moment between home renovation projects, traveling, golfing, snow skiing, landscaping, and water features.

I’m a licensed architect specializing in the assessment and repair of all aspects of the building envelope. This includes designing systems that result in durable separations of the interior spaces from the elements. I take pride in detailing practical solutions that are simple, comprehensive, buildable, cost effective, and aesthetically appropriate. My building envelope work focuses on facade maintenance, diagnosing failures, and identifying liabilities to determine a recommended repair scope. Assessments are performed to identify project needs, prioritize scope, and budget for the repairs. I believe the construction administration presence is critical for quality assurance for the owner. A properly-maintained building envelope enables an owner to ensure occupant comfort, extend the building facade’s longevity, and protect the owner’s assets. My career in the construction industry began with an infatuation with Waffle Blocks, which progressed to Bristle Blocks, Lincoln Logs, and ultimately LEGO bricks. A high school art teacher took one look at my sculpture project and proclaimed: “You should be an Architect.” With that sentence, my career path and future became clear.

On weekends you can find me acquiring a sunburn at one of my kids’ many sporting events or working on various home improvement projects. I enjoy craft brews in social settings and supporting the local sports teams despite their collective inability to win.

My favorite projects result in an end product that makes repairs indistinguishable from the original construction. I consider a project successful if people never notice the building was repaired. These projects include:

• University of Cincinnati – Braunstein Hall (2020) Spalling limestone became a safety hazard. We worked to replace deteriorated stone to preserve the integrity of the historical structure.
• Taft Theater (2006) – After a partial collapse of the main wall due to deferred maintenance, we worked to stabilize the wall, salvage stone, and supplement with new materials to stabilize and restore the façade.
• Ohio State University – Hayes and Hale Halls (2015) Concurrently restored masonry, slate roofs, and waterproofed foundations for these two historical buildings on campus.

I completed two associate’s degrees in civil engineering technology at Cincinnati State and began my career with THP in 2005. I’m a Revit Structure Certified Professional and an experienced
project coordinator that excels in the development, organization, and production of project documents.

I grew up in southeastern Indiana on my family’s farm and currently reside in North Bend, Ohio. Most weekends I return to Indiana to help on the farm.

I like classic cars and enjoy taking the ones I own to car shows with my car club.

As long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to city skylines and elaborate entertainment structures. Combining that with a mathematical way of thinking, my path led me to become a structural engineer. As a project engineer at THP, I collaborate with architects, contractors, owners, and team members to design sound, safe, and economical structures to satisfy the needs of my clients, while crafting solutions to complex construction problems to maintain project budget and schedule. I have always taken pride in the quality of my work and my ability to be an effective teammate, willing to work with project team members in order to reach our desired goal.

I grew up in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, where I lived for my entire childhood before heading away for college. I attended the University of Alabama for four years and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, with a focus in structural engineering, in May 2018. After my sabbatical from the area, I decided to return to Greater Cincinnati for graduate school at the University of Cincinnati, receiving a master’s degree in structural engineering in December 2019.

I’ve been part of the THP team since January 2020, focusing on new construction design work. I‘ve been fortunate to work on a wide variety of project types utilizing various structural material types including steel, reinforced concrete (post-tension), wood and masonry. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, theatre, watching and playing any sport with friends, being social with family and friends and meeting new people.

Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve been fascinated by the construction industry and the engineering of massive structures. In addition to the popular cartoons of the late ‘90s and early 2000s, I also loved watching shows that focused on the design and construction of roller coasters, massive skyscrapers, dams, bridges, and other infrastructure projects. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with a business administration minor in the spring of 2018. While considering the career path I wanted, I spent time working for a local government, a multinational entertainment, and theme park company, and living overseas for a few months, before coming back to Cincinnati and joining THP in the summer of 2019.

Working for a structural engineering firm allows me to see all aspects of a project, from the early stages of planning to design to construction. One of the most gratifying aspects of the job is seeing something I’ve designed come to life, and then pointing to friends and family and saying, “I helped with that!” THP also gives me the opportunity to work with a variety of external parties, like owners, architects, and contractors. Through these partnerships, we are able to develop effective solutions for our projects while maintaining a project’s schedule and budget.

My biggest passion in life is traveling. I love exploring other cities and countries, trying new foods, seeing different cultures, and meeting new people. My dream is to either retire young enough to continue traveling the world, or, more realistically, travel for work. Either way, I’ll be planning my next stop! When I’m not heading to a new place, you can likely find me out in the woods hiking/backpacking, biking or running, cooking and baking, or cheering on our local sports teams.

Industry organizations:

• American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
• Structural Engineers Association of Ohio (SEAoO)

I completed my associate’s degree in computer design and drafting from ITT Technical Institute. As a senior project technician, I have acquired the necessary skills to develop complex BIM models and construction documents, while also keeping projects on schedule. My background includes steel, concrete, masonry, cold-formed steel framing, and wood structures. My goal is to utilize my experience and structural background to ensure all projects are coordinated along all trades while keeping our clients’ needs and goals my top priority.

I started my career in the building industry at a young age. Right out of high school, I started a job with a local residential framing company that worked on projects for multiple tri-state home builders. We eventually transitioned into a custom-building company that built pre-sold homes, home additions, and commercial restaurants which allowed me to be involved in all aspects of the building process and the coordination of all residential and commercial trades. That experience launched my passion for building and a desire to understand the process and coordination involved in all projects.

I grew up in Burlington, Kentucky, and currently reside in Walton, Kentucky with the director of operations (my wife), three kids, and our Great Dane where we all enjoy the peace and quiet of the country. During my down time, I love to golf, hunt, fish, weight train, and TV time with the family.

As the marketing coordinator for THP, my goal is to take the intelligence our business development team has learned and transform it into something impactful to our clients. Whether it’s writing a proposal, taking photos of our projects or staff, or producing our next YouTube video, I try to show our clients THP understands their goals, needs, and wants. 

I started my career in the AEC industry when I co-oped for an architectural firm while studying for my master’s of business administration at the University of Cincinnati. It was there that I realized I thrived in never having the same two days and enjoyed being around creative people. I also like learning new things, so learning about the AEC industry and what goes into designing, constructing, and restoring buildings was very interesting to me. After graduating with my MBA in marketing, I knew I wanted to work in the AEC industry.

When not at work, I enjoy running, riding the bike that goes nowhere (#yougettocrew), and enjoying life with my goldendoodle, Walter.

I am an Engineering Project Manager with a focus on new structures. As a structural engineer, I have design and construction experience with both reinforced concrete and steel. My structural engineering design work includes parking garages, higher education, healthcare, commercial and federal facilities. However, my passion is cast-in-place post-tensioned structures. In order to do my part in providing a better world for my children I became a Parksmart advisor. I feel it is important that we do what we can to turn these monuments to fossil fuels into more than just grey boxes.

I grew up in a neighborhood under construction on the west side of Cincinnati. Most of my free time was spent exploring construction sites, dumpster diving for scrap wood to build treehouses, or watching UC basketball. This led to a passion for construction and a desire to attend UC — where I completed both my undergraduate and graduate degrees — for the free student tickets to games. While in school I did a co-op term at a construction company. The project I was assigned to was a THP-designed post-tensioned parking garage. I was fascinated by the concept of post-tensioned concrete and decided that I wanted to make a career of designing it. I was lucky enough to be hired by THP for my next co-op term and have been at the company ever since.

When not working I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Case Western Reserve University in the field of civil engineering with an architectural focus. As a project engineer at THP, I’ve gained experience in the restoration of masonry and concrete structures. I began my career at THP in 2019, working out of the Cleveland office focused mainly on building envelope restoration. Over the past couple of years, I’ve worked mostly in the higher education sector on masonry restoration for university-owned buildings in Northeast Ohio. I divide my time between design in the office and site work in the field. 

My passion for design in architecture and engineering started at a young age. I’ve always loved hands-on work which impacts people’s everyday lives. The restoration side of civil engineering has given me the perfect balance between the artsy side of design and architecture and technical engineering.

I grew up in Loudonville, Ohio, a small farm town between Cleveland and Columbus, but have lived in the Cleveland area for the last eight years. I currently reside on the east side with my three-year-old lab/pit mix dog, Cece. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, hiking, and spending time with my friends and family.

I completed my undergraduate degree at Case Western Reserve University and my graduate degree at Cleveland State University in the field of civil engineering with a structural focus. Throughout my career at THP I’ve had experience in our Structural, Restoration, and Building Envelope service teams, although most of my work is focused in structural design. I’m a certified member of the Society of Practicing Rope Access Technicians (SPRAT) and a member of THP’s rope access team that utilizes rappelling for façade reviews.

While my childhood passion for model making made it clear at a young age that I would be an engineer, it wasn’t until I took my first structural design class in college that I knew structural engineering and building design was the perfect career. Structural engineering allows me to be creative through design and problem solving. I enjoy working on projects with challenging architectural designs, in particular health care and higher education buildings, which require close coordination with the design team.

I’ve always enjoyed being active, and my work on THP’s rope access team provides the balance of mental and physical challenges that I grew to value as a life-long baseball player. I currently live in Cleveland Heights with my girlfriend and two dogs. When we are not tackling the next home improvement project, we enjoy walking and hiking with the dogs, running, and rock climbing.
