When not globetrotting for his side job as International President of ITE, Michael and his black lab, Loki, like to run, fish, and watch his kids play volleyball & baseball. Words to live by: “If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough.” –Mario Andretti

“Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.” Luckily for us, Danielle can very much be herself. As our first-ever female stock holder, PTOE, and mom to 2 kiddos and one doggo, she excels at most things. Especially tailgating at Bobcat football games.

As COO, Mac is keenly interested in making things work. In fact, he lives by the motto of “Fail Forward Fast.” Not that he accepts failure, he just understands the design process and he isn’t scared to kiss a few frogs when needed.

Following in the footsteps of an amazing role model, mentor (& father), Erling Tufte, John always knew he was going to be a Civil Engineer. He started his career at Sanderson Stewart (back when it was called Engineering, Inc.) and – after receiving his masters and more than a little project experience – he is back once again. John, along with his golden retriever, Leo, is now managing the Colorado region for SS and looking forward to a lot more experiences. “Get ‘er done!”

Tim loves the outdoors, but not extreme temperatures. That is actually one of the reasons he became a civil engineer. While working on a sweltering construction site one summer, he noticed that the engineer observing from his air-conditioned truck, and he knew that was the job for him. It is also the reason you won’t find him and his lab, Libby, ice fishing anytime soon.

Uncertain logging industry futures turned into a boon for the traveling public. It inspired this dyed-in-the-wool outdoorsman to seek a career in transportation engineering. When not designing the most roundabouts in a sequence in the country, Kirk and his golden retriever Carley, can be found hunting and fishing. Fish On!

As the manager of our development delivery groups, Pat solves daunting problems every day. But that doesn’t scare him, he likes big challenges. He lives by the motto “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger” and, if you have ever seen him in action at the office or shredding the mountain, you know that he is very strong, indeed.

Inspiration can be found everywhere-Vikings games, the shower, or walking the pups, Poppy & Thor on the beach. Keeping your eyes and mind open encourages more creative solutions, no matter where you are. “Lake hair, don’t care.”

“Work for a cause, not for applause.” It couldn’t sum up Amy’s passion to improve people’s lives better. The clean freak in Amy is compelled to fix all our issues and tidy her house. Works out well for her two pups, Macy and Frankie, too.

“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities… because it is the quality which guarantees all others.” – Winston Churchill – is Doug’s favorite quote. It makes sense, because he needs lots of courage to wrangle so many surveyors at one time. When not managing the field crews, you can find Doug & his wife of 30 years cheering for his beloved Texas A&M Aggies.

Growing up just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park gave Lauren a unique perspective on the built environment and its integration with nature.  She balances her love of outdoor activities and her fascination with the complexities of city growth to create great, active communities.  She also balances on a unicycle, but that’s a story for another day.

Bryan enjoys solving problems and creating lasting memories. Which is why he chose to be an engineer AND a professional photographer. With his family and cat, Baxter, he lives by the saying: “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.” No challenge is too daunting. Not even being the crazy cat person in a dog-filled office.

When he’s not cheering on the Oregon Ducks or working in his garden with his wife, Chris, you can probably find Bill playing the fiddle with his band at Yellowstone Valley Cellars. A man of many talents, Bill somehow manages to also have a new joke at the ready every time you see him.
