Strong Work Structural Engineering, Inc

2019 marks the 10th year of my self-employment as a Structural Engineer. I am so very thankful and so very fortunate to have had the opportunities over these 10 years to help so many home-owners and local businesses: 1000+

Helping local everyday people and with entrepreneur architects rather than for/with developers and corporations has been so incredibility fulfilling and motivating.

As a look a back on these 10 years, I created a Google Map (link below: ZOOM IN) of the addresses of those consultations and projects.

Happy Thanksgiving!
