About Us

As Principal Engineer and President of Hill Storm Water Engineering, Inc., I bring over 20 years of civil engineering experience with a passion for water quality and drainage design. In my career thus far, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some exceptional teams at multiple stellar engineering firms.

I decided it was time, however, to start Hill Storm Water Engineering, Inc. to build a better work-life balance and stay more engaged in family life, while continuing to do the work I love. My wife and I are proud native San Diegans, and we love enjoying all that our city has to offer, while raising our two incredible kids at our home on Black Mountain. When I'm not working with clients, you’ll probably find me hiking nearby trails—especially the ones right outside our front door.

When I am working with clients, you and your project are my top priority. At Hill Storm Water Engineering, Inc. we focus on collaboration to deliver project-specific, cost-effective, and innovative solutions tailored to meet unique site requirements. We're committed to prompt, responsive service and producing high-quality technical reports that facilitate smooth agency processing—ensuring your project stays on track and on schedule. As we like to say: we are “Your Partner in Great Design”.
