Robert excels at focusing on design details while taking a broader view of a project. By visualizing concepts and ideas – something he encourages the engineers he mentors to do – he’s able to understand how a given detailed design decision fits into the project as a whole, as well as appreciate how a single project fits into a client’s overall program.

On any project, his goals are always the same: to make the best use of available funding, to minimize disruption to motorists, and to leave stakeholders feeling like the project was a success.
