Principal Coastal Engineer at Arrowhead Harbor Engineering · Dartmouth '99 · Alumni Admissions Ambassador Duluth, Minnesota, United States

About

I design breakwaters, docks and shoreline protection for Great Lakes harbors, and I spend a lot of time thinking about what ice and storms do to concrete. For twenty-five years I've worked from Milwaukee to Thunder Bay with port authorities, tribes and small towns trying to keep their waterfronts working. I'm happiest outside, and I'm happiest of all when a hard problem turns out to have a simple answer. Since 2010 I've interviewed applicants for Dartmouth across northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. I enjoy those conversations more than almost anything else I do.
