After working as a geotechnical consultant, he joined the civil engineering faculty at BYU in 1987, following after his father who was previously a geotechnical professor. His research has involved geotechnical earthquake engineering, deep foundation and bridge abutment behavior, and soil improvement techniques. His work typically involves full-scale testing to evaluate and improve performance of bridges and buildings.
