I am a professional engineer (P.Eng.), a certified building code official (CBCO), and a licensed building official (LBO). I have 20+ years of vibrant experience in the building code industry in various capacities, including developing building codes as a member of the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes-CBHCC and a member of many codes committees. In addition, I write articles related to code for engineering magazines and offer presentations to the members of SFPE, engineering and architect associations.
