Who We Are

Growing up in Buena Vista, Colorado surrounded by a family of custom home builders I am no stranger to the process of building a project from conception to completion.  Recognizing my draw to architecture and design I attended the University of Wyoming and earned my degree in Architectural Engineering.  After graduating I quickly learned that the engineering industry can often feel too cold and calculated.  Being a life-long ‘people-person’ I recognized there is a better way and The Engineering Loft was born.  I am a passionate and driven engineer with a wide range of experience working with homeowners, architects and contractors but mostly I recognize that this business is about more than drawings and calculations.  It’s about people, their homes, their families and their businesses.  I am a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Colorado.  I love the Rocky Mountains and I can’t wait to help you build your dream! 

I grew up in Aurora, Colorado, and was always on the go playing soccer. It eventually led me to the opportunity to play Division 1 women’s soccer at the University of Wyoming. While attending college, I had no clue what career path I wanted to follow, as the only career I ever knew was soccer. However, I did know that I always had a yearning passion towards design and often excelled in math and science. Taking this into consideration, I ended up earning my degree in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in Structures. As graduation approached, a UW professor, who knew I loved residential design, connected me with Christina. After meeting with Christina, I realized we shared not only a similar drive for engineering, but also aligned values. This connection led me to begin working at the Engineering Loft soon after graduation. And now, I am so excited to contribute to the innovative designs we create that ensures your home has unparalleled craftmanship. 

I grew up in Salida, Colorado and some of my earliest memories are helping my dad, who was a custom home builder, at job sites. I started cleaning up nails at builds as a kid, and later took over the family business leading everything from designing to constructing custom homes. I attended Colorado School of Mines and earned my degree in Civil Engineering before moving back to Salida to continue building in the Arkansas Valley for the last eight years. I am most passionate about the structural engineering component of the design process, and actually partnered with Christina on a build before coming to work at The Engineering Loft. When I'm not at a job site, you’ll probably find me kayaking the Arkansas River or backcountry skiing in the Collegiate Peaks.
