Fun Facts

• What drew you to HEI, and what excites you most about joining our team? I was a land surveyor in the United States Marine Corps for 5 years and I wanted to get back into it. I was a field engineer for Northrop Grumman at my last job. HEI offered me the opportunity to combine two of my favorite jobs from my past into one. Although I’m not an engineer, I still enjoy working with them.

• What’s your favorite way to relax and unwind after a busy day? Floating on the lake, in a boat, with a fishing pole in my hand.
• If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? Italy, because I’m also a foodie and I want to eat and learn how to cook authentic Italian food.
• What’s your favorite snack? Toasted Ravioli.
• What is your favorite fuel for staying energized? Coffee.
