Summary: This presentation will describe the career path of the presenter over a career starting in 1973 to the present. Three specific projects will be used to help explain the tremendous benefit of being a licenses professional engineer. The attendees will hear about the ups and downs encountered over a 50 year span covering multiple political, financial, and business climates and how a PE was a major component making these fluctuations easier to handle. An emphasis will be put on the ethical importance of maintaining an engineering professional license by always trying to follow the first Fundamental Canon of engineers to “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public”. The presenter will welcome an open discussion at the end of the presentation to clarify anything within the seminar.
