I create weekly videos on:
- Helping civil and structural engineering students and graduates secure the best career opportunities in the structural engineering industry.
- Helping young structural engineers advance in their careers.
- Hints, tips, advice and my insights as a practicing structural engineer.
I'm a structural project manager in California with an undergraduate degree from Cal Poly Pomona and a master's degree from UC San Diego. My career so far has allowed me to design and manage various types of building structures, ranging from residential wood apartment buildings, commercial steel buildings, and concrete parking structures and towers.

I don't work with arches, domes, and shells on a daily basis so learning about them was intimidating at first. I was surprised that even the most complex looking shell structures could be broken down into basics. I had a great time using the Mola 4 model to simplify these structures, check out the latest video!
Don't forget to support the Mola 4 Kickstarter campaign this month to get your model and extra bonuses:

I've been on a long break to take care of my physical and mental health, but excited again to make new videos when I can as I've been missing it! Why was the world's tallest earthquake test so important to the wood construction industry? New video is out!:
