Gabriel Echeverria, E.I.

Being able to look into the future… in other words, knowing the upcoming developments and roadway projects of cities and communities.

The great mentorship. Our team has amazing staff rich in knowledge and willing to spread the wealth. Regardless of how senior or junior my peers are, they are always approachable and have found a way to help me better understand odd situations and discrepancies I come across while working on a project or design.

I have expanded my modeling abilities tenfold, all while working on my technical skills, engineering judgment, and work ethic. Every day I focus on learning new things, owning what I know, and being the best version of myself possible. In the words of Aristotle, “Excellence… is not an act, but a habit.”

I regularly check in with Matt Steen, Roy Monk, and Andy Nicol, a few of my mentors. Their guidance has played a key role in my growth as an engineer.

I enjoy playing tennis with my wife, watching the Florida Gators play football (GO GATORS!), trying new restaurants, bars, and speakeasies, walking and playing with my dog, playing with my cat, and building Lego. I must also include mowing my lawn and tending to my plants!
