Fun Fact

I’m originally from Frenchtown, MT: the small town with no French people, French fries, or stoplights. I don’t remember riding on a highway with more than two lanes until we went to Spokane, Washington when I was a teenager.

I am not a particularly competitive person, but I am the reigning champ at a totally random pattern game called Tangoes.  I challenge you to beat me – best 3 out of 5?

Favorite thing about Eclipse
The people at Eclipse make it feel like a family. We know how to work hard, play hard, and have ‘phun’ while doing it. I also find it incredibly rewarding to bring our clients’ vision to life through a creative and unique engineering approach.
Favorite Noise/Sound
All the sounds of being outside of the city – birds chirping, trees rustling, water bubbling in the stream...
