"I’m an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Texas A&M University, where I teach topics related to Statics, Mechanics of Materials, Structural Analysis, Reinforced Concrete Design, Steel Design, and Structural Stability. I earned my Ph.D. and M.S. from Purdue and B.S. from Montana State University - all in civil/structural engineering. As a faculty member, I conduct research focusing on large-scale testing of reinforced concrete and steel bridge structures, keeping my teaching grounded in how structures actually behave under load.

I’ve taught hundreds of engineering students, earning strong course evaluations and departmental teaching awards. My approach is straightforward: understand the behavior first, then the equations. I help students interpret load paths, visualize response, and connect analysis and design methods to real structural behavior. Whether you’re studying for the FE/PE exam or working through coursework, I’ll help you think like an engineer." less...
