Principal
Matt brings over 11 years of experience in the Engineering & Construction Industry to the table which includes time spent in the field directly overseeing the construction of complex heavy civil work as well as years designing and entitling many local successful projects as the Engineer of Record. His unique background gives him the first-person perspective of how his plans get translated to actual work in the field as well as the foresight to anticipate potential challenges for each project in the planning stages. He loves bringing creative solutions into a collaborative working environment and tailoring his work to meet the exact needs of every client. When he’s not in the office or on the jobsite, you can find Matt skiing, hiking, or fly fishing with his wife and daughter in the mountains of Idaho.
