“It has been a pleasure to work with and get to know Mike over the past several years. From the beginning, Mike has displayed a strong interest in learning new skills and has had great success with quickly obtaining certifications through WACEL, ICRI, BESI and other organizations related to performing concrete, steel, and building enclosure inspections, testing, and evaluations. This has allowed Mike to become a versatile engineer covering multiple project types as well as a mentor to others pursuing similar certifications. Mike is a great co-worker who is always willing to help his colleagues and share his knowledge. He is a very valuable member of our team.”
