1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
Engineering and business knowledge gained at GVSU helped me grow
in my engineering career as an employee-owner working for multiple
companies. I am grateful to have had the freedom, training, and
opportunities to practice electrical engineering and project
management in a variety of different engineering consultant and
manufacturing settings.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
My spouse and I met at GVSU, so my favorite memories are of the
two of us being together and having heart-to-heart talks while sipping
coffee in Kirkhof Center.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
Near the end of the engineering coursework at GVSU, we were
advised to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, which is a basis
for the Professional Engineer licensure.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Caring, Accepting, and Growth
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
I want to continue designing and creating electrical
infrastructure to better our planet, and to inspire others to choose
engineering and sciences as their career path.
