HEATH & LINEBACK - Key Persons
I started working at Heath & Lineback right after I graduated from college in 2004. One of the first projects I worked on was the 5th Runway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. That was such a great project with which to start my career! It was very interesting and quite challenging at times - and I learned a lot through that design. Now I'm a Senior Bridge Engineer and Project Manager and I really enjoy what I do. Each day gives me the chance to use the skills I've acquired over the years and the opportunity to gain new expertise.
I'm a roadway designer and have been working at H&L since 2009. I enjoy working on fast-paced projects that involve optimizing aspects of the design for constructability while minimizing impacts. Working on these types of projects highlights the importance of team work, efficiency, and dedication. The most rewarding part of my job is mentoring our graduate engineers and helping them develop a sense of pride and ownership in their work.
I started working at H&L in 2014 after receiving my bachelor's degree in civil engineering and my master's in structural engineering. I am a designer in the structural department. I enjoy working on projects that are complex and require thinking outside the box, and we have a lot opportunity for that here at H&L. Outside of work, I enjoy UGA football, golfing, and spending time with my family.
I am an Auburn fan and a civil engineer, in that order. I'm originally from upstate New York and graduated from Auburn University. I joined H&L after graduation, and I've been involved in a variety of transportation infrastructure projects. As Head of the Roadway Department, I oversee many different types of projects - roundabouts, widenings, intersections, and arterial type jobs to name a few - all while monitoring the quality of work the department produces. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Vicki, and our two daughters.
I have been designing and developing roadway, transit, and bridge construction plans for almost 6 years at H&L. Our reputation for quality and consistency has given me the opportunity to work on a broad range of projects. I thoroughly enjoy all of the time I get to put towards developing my professional skills and completing exciting construction projects.
I began working at H&L while pursuing my undergraduate degree and became a full-time staff member in 2008. I have designed many transportation infrastructure projects, primarily pedestrian related, and I now serve as our Trail Department Manager. Early in my career, I realized my main engineering interest was in designing multi-modal facilities that bring communities together and provide meaningful outdoor experiences for the public.
I've been with H&L since our founding and working with John, Gary, and Masood for 30 years and with Allen for 27 years! I have worked in one role or another on a majority of the major roadway projects and quite a few of the bridge projects the company has designed. I am also responsible for managing the IT functions for the company. I have really enjoyed watching our young engineers work their way up and blossom into great engineers.
