Jeff Falero, PE, Principal Consultant

I am passionate about structural engineering and consider myself fortunate to consult in an industry that has a positive societal impact. My career allows me to evaluate, design and otherwise influence a variety of safe and sustainable structures at all phases of their life cycle. Through it all, I have the same curiosity as when I started over 20 years ago.
