I have been a Lansing resident all of my life, and a proud graduate
of the Lansing school district and Michigan State University.
I married my high school sweetheart in 1970, and have 3 children:
Kirk, Jr., currently working for G.M.; Brandi, who is in her
last year at MSU, and Matthew, who just started MSU in 1997,
is majoring in Engineering and is a freshman on the football
team. I have been employed by the Michigan Department of Transportation
all of my adult life. However, I have not stayed in one spot--I've
been a draftsman, an auditor, program manager, and I am currently
Engineer Manager overseeing over $70 million worth of construction
work.
I feel that since my graduation from MSU in the spring of 1980,
I have grown in maturity and confidence. The experiences of
success and failure at MSU helped me prepare for my life's journey.
Neither one of my parents graduated from a four year institution
but they were a great support to me in my quest to complete
my college education.
After I completed my undergraduate degree, I still had a thirst
for knowledge. I enrolled in a master program and completed
my masters degree in 1985 in Management from Aquinas College.
With a lot of encouragement from my wife and children, I studied
hard and became a Registered Engineer in February of 1993.
During all of this personnel development and growth, I coached
my kids in soccer and football.
As a Resident Engineer, I've been involved with some of the
MDOT innovative types of pavement construction. One example
is the asphalt paving project, which made use of high strength
asphalt paving sections, paved adjacent to a rubblized pavement
section so that they could be compared in the longevity, wearing,
and rate of deteriation, over time. My office took the lead
role in the pavement patching FAST TRACK project on the I-96
expressway on the southwest side of Lansing in 1996, in which
some MSU CEE faculty played a prominent role.
I am currently overseeing the construction of the last leg of
the US-27 bypass around St. Johns, which involves the connection
of the I-69 Interchange north of the city of Lansing. During
my career at the MDOT, I have found that my work in civil engineering
has been a very satisfying vocation. I feel the future of civil
engineering is yet to be seen--our everchanging societal and
environmental needs are still waiting to be discovered. It is
my ambition as a member of the CEE Professional Advisory Board
to make MSU a part and a major player in the future of civil
engineering.
