Andy is a man of many talents. Aside from being one of our Senior Design Engineers, he’s also your friendly, randomly-rhyming, neighborhood dirtbike-riding lumberjack. We’ve been lucky enough to have Andy on our team for more than a decade—and we look forward to more rhyming and designing in the next ten years!

An Engineering Equestrian Extraordinaire, Emily is crafty in both life and engineering. She loves creating and designing things—for anything from clever life hacks to complicated site designs - she’s got you covered. She’s also the Sketchup Queen who enjoys creating site layouts and visualizations for our clients. Emily inspires us all to be just a little bit more creative!

Doug is the master of trouble-shooting, the guru of grouting and a field favorite. Always willing to get on site and roll up his sleeves, Doug is at the top of a lot of our “who to call” list for engineering questions, soil questions, and with his vast knowledge of random facts, he’s also at the top of our call list for trivia questions.

An avid skier imported from France, Benjamin is not only known for being an excellent engineer and our go-to for all things D-wall, but also as one of the nicest people (and teammates) you could be lucky enough to know. Always willing to jump in and help, we say a heartfelt “Merci” to Benjamin for joining our team.

Zak brings not only a ton of great experience to the Engineering Team, but also, a ton of calm, cool and collected vibes. He's a great leader on the team and a client favorite. We feel pretty lucky to have this cool customer on our Engineering Team!

If there was an Engineering Hall of Fame, Rick would be in it. He's the giver of advice, solver of problems and leader of Engineering at ����Ӱ��AV, not to mention a two-time Annual Cornhole Tournament Champion. Though he's too humble to admit it, Rick is an award-winning contributor to our industry, and we are lucky to call him a colleague.

Gretchen has been the keeper (and policer) of the Nicholsonbrand for more than ten years. Outside of brand policing, she makes sure the rest of the world knows how amazing our team is and how awesome our work is by putting us front and center in industry publications, at conferences and everywhere in between—and she will never be convinced that silty sand and sandy silt aren't the same thing.

Greg has one of the most important jobs in the company: leading the charge to keep our people safe. With more than 20 years of experience as a Safety professional, Greg has led safety efforts for some of construction’s biggest names. In addition to being really safe, Greg is just a great guy—he's one of the most positive people on staff and we also benefit from him being an amateur chef.

Some people just make you want to be better, and Mary Ellen is one of them! Mary Ellen has just the right mix of technical knowledge and genuine care to build strong relationships with our clients and partners. She’s also been a leader and role model for young women in our industry for years. Our glass is always half full with the perpetually positive Mary Ellen on our team!

Brian is the main driver of the company’s business development efforts. Catch him if you can—while he works out of the Corporate office, he’s typically all over the country visiting clients (and throwing down a few runs on the ski slopes, whenever possible.) Brian is a great teammate, an ally for women in construction, and an all-around nice guy.

Jen oversees Human Resources at ����Ӱ��AV, which means she is the knower of all things, the official corporate referee and the answerer of all questions. Somehow, she manages to tackle listening and refereeing and advising us all with superhero-like patience and a smile on her face—even during Open Enrollment.

Ryan has been building some of our biggest and most complicated projects for more than 20 years. As part of our Major Projects group, he's traveled the country, working on notable and challenging projects like US Capitol Visitor's Center, Second Avenue Subway and Central Subway. Ryan is a problem solver, a leader, an ally and a teambuilder—and one of the best storytellers around.

Jose has been part of some of the biggest and most complicated projects we’ve worked on in the last decade. This road warrior has been positively representing Nicholsonfrom coast-to-coast with our Major Projects group. Jose is a strong leader, a great teammate, a great technical resource and has an absolutely killer sense of humor.

One of our favorite French imports, Lola makes managing massive, complicated projects look like a piece of cake. She’s calm, cool and collected, no matter the situation. And despite her plate being perpetually full, she’s always willing to help out her colleagues across the company when they need her.

Ron has been in the world of geotechnical construction for more than 40 years, building and overseeing projects across the country. He's been part of many of ����Ӱ��AV's Landmark projects, including Port of Miami and Wanapum Dam. Ron is a leader and a mentor to our next generation, and he probably has more frequent flier miles than anyone in the company.
