Samuel's Bio
Samuel has always had a strong interest in construction. Ever since he
could pick up a hammer, Samuel has always been active in the construction
field, from building his father’s 4,000 square foot house, to steel
framing for a residential steel contractor in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,
to working summers with a finish carpenter in Rochester, New York. Samuel
always knew he wanted to work in the construction field which is why he
chose to attend one of the finest architectural engineering schools in the
country at Penn State University.
Samuel is currently in his final year of the 5-year ABET accredited AE program.
He plans to graduate in May of 2006 with an Integrated Masters and Bachelors
of Architectural Engineering degree focusing on structural design. After
getting married to his beautiful wife, Franchesca in 2003, Samuel acquired
an internship with the Southern Company structural department in Birmingham,
Alabama. This internship allowed Samuel to put to test the strong background
of steel and concrete that he obtained through 5 years at Penn State while
obtaining hands on experience in the structural industry. After graduating
from Penn State, Samuel hopes to acquire a permanent position with a Structural
Engineering firm that will allow him to expand his knowledge of structural
design and building construction. He also plans on obtaining his Professional
Engineering license as a part of his future professional development.
