Bret earned his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Seattle University in 1994, and worked four years in construction management prior to joining RH2 in 1998. In his early career with RH2, Bret carved out a niche in utility design, stormwater engineering, and site design, and then later expanded to projects in transportation design. Nearly half of Bret’s career with RH2 has been spent in some capacity as a Contract City Engineer for key clients such as Bonney Lake and Stanwood. This has exposed him to the many challenges that our clients routinely face and has helped him develop strategies for how to best serve them.

Bret enjoys solving problems by applying his construction background and thinking about projects not only from the engineering perspective, but the perspective of the client, the contractor, and inspection personnel. He believes that a team approach and working collaboratively helps build solid relationships and a superior product. While Bret has worked on many notable projects for RH2, what he values most are the friendships he has made with coworkers and the relationships he has built with clients. Since day one at RH2, Bret has felt inspired and challenged by his colleagues and strives to provide that same motivation and mentorship in return.
