How has LACO helped you in your career development?
“Since working for LACO I have entered the civil engineering realm from a degree in mechanical engineering, so it has been a very steep learning curve. I am learning civil design, AutoCAD Civil 3D, structural engineering and am heavily involved in our storm water program.”
What is the first concert you ever attended?
“My first concert was Day on the Green at the Oakland Coliseum in my senior year in high school. We took the day off school and drove down to see Body Count, Metallica, and Guns & Roses. We got lost on the way back at 3am!”
