Profile & Background

​

Dan is one of two principals of MCR Engineering. He oversees our construction management division, inspection services, and private development engineering departments.  He is well respected for his “team-building” approach when working with employees, clients and regulatory agencies.  He knows how to build relationships that translate to a good work product and how to get the most out of those that he manages.

 

Dan spent the first 10 years of his career in the construction industry before joining MCR Engineering. As a superintendent for a major contractor in the central valley, he directed the construction of basically everything we typically design. His knowledge of the construction process has proved to be invaluable to our engineers and designers.  He places great emphasis on preparing improvement plans that are “build-able” and complete.
