  • What has been your favorite project at CASCO?

It was probably the first landscape plan that I was able to sign and seal.  It was for a Home Depot store and it was about 5 trees, which were all planted crooked.  But it was still exciting to use the seal that I had worked so hard to attain.

Confidence and perseverance.  The confidence to do many different and challenging things.  And the perseverance to keep trying when the results don’t come easy.

  • If you could have any super power, what would it be?

To be able to fly like Superman or have super strength like Thor or to self-heal like Wolverine.

  • What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most? 

The freedom to make my own choices and also to work with many different clients, which enables me to work on many various aspects of design and construction.

  • What is something you would like to learn to do?

Sign language and play the drums, both of which fascinate me.
