Erik’s early love for Legos nurtured his grown-up interest in designing and building physical environments. He became an essential team player for the firm in 2013 and developed his knowledge of steel and concrete design, particularly for high-rise construction. Erik has established client and contractor relationships while successfully completing commercial projects along the West Coast. He has collaborated in the structural design for high-rises, hospitals, parking garages, office buildings, and tenant improvements. Erik has taken his project management experience to mentor engineers in training about the building design process.
