In 2010, I started with NDOT as a rotating engineer after graduating with a degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in civil engineering. In 2011, I discovered a love for 3D visualization and, after receiving my professional engineering license in 2014, I left the design and consulting world to start Civil FX, a 3D visualization studio built to serve clients and their design communication needs. After helping to pioneer interactive visualization for major transportation projects, the Civil FX team grew and was able to serve dozens of clients throughout Nevada and the United States. And while Civil FX allowed me to move beyond CAD in my personal career, we also helped clients move their designs beyond CAD and into realistic 3D environments.In the summer of 2020, the Civil FX brand and visualization services team was acquired by Parametrix, an engineering, planning and environmental sciences firm. I kept the development team and started Beyond CAD Inc as a software publishing company to continue building this software as well as my journey moving beyond CAD in my professional career. The Beyond CAD team is small but incredibly capable. It is my hope Beyond CAD will create the tools that will bring easier visualization to more projects and more engineers, and that our team will continue to innovate in software in civil engineering for many years to come. Our flagship software application, Beyond Typicals, is already changing the way engineers and planners are designing and communicating their transportation projects.
