Elected Region 4 Governor
Vision statement
My vision to assist with advancing the civil engineering industry is to continue the leadership and management development of young engineers. Our charge as an industry is to transform the engineer of tomorrow to be technically sound while providing guidance to our local, state, and federal officials on public policy that protects the health and welfare of our country. I believe ASCE provides the organizational structure, outreach, and support to encourage the next generation to be engaged and well-rounded in their professional careers.
