Most challenging Public Works project you have been involved with: Most challenging projects are the neighborhood reconstruction projects. Dealing with access, continued city services, communication, logistics, and day to day construction operations make each project unique in their own way. It’s rewarding to see a project come from design to completion knowing what was done has made an improvement to the community for years to come.
Most enjoyable Public Works project you have been involved with: I would have to say the most enjoyable projects are either the larger scope unique engineering projects in a community, or the new neighborhoods and commercial expansion projects. Seeing the community you work in grow, and being a part of it by laying a foundation for its future is really great.
