About Brian
Hailing from a small Boston suburb known as Norfolk, MA, Brian realized his passion for buildings early in life. This passion first surfaced in early elementary school as he fondly recalls his first set of “real” markers and the skyscrapers he drew with them. As the years went by, Brian excelled in math and the sciences and began to contemplate a career in engineering. Finding Penn State’s Architectural Engineering program, Brian was able to marry his two interests in one integrated degree. While attending Penn State, Brian expanded his interests by obtaining a minor in Engineering Mechanics; solidifying the foundation of his structural understanding. He has also taken an active part in the mentoring of freshman engineers by helping coordinate freshman engineering orientation activities as chairman of the Engineering Orientation Committee and as a mentor with the Engineering Mentorship Program. He has completed three internships in engineering with AHA Consulting Engineers, AstraZeneca International, and Wiss, Janney, Elstner, Associates, Inc and is seeking a full time position as a structural engineer in a design or forensic role.
