I moved to the Dallas, Texas area in 1995, so I haven\u2019t had the opportunity to run into many.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Q.\u00a0 Has there been a moment in your career when you thought \u201cMy job is awesome!\u201d and what was that moment?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>A.\u00a0<\/b>The first time I was able to visit a site for a project I worked on. It was a retail strip center in San Antonio, Texas, and I could see where the contractor had followed my drawings and where he had deviated. It was so nice to be able to connect their work to mine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Q.

I had to begin with the original blueprints and then climb everywhere with a tape measure and sketch. When I had to print anything, I would send it to the pen plotter and leave for an hour. Plotters have come a long way in 25 years!
