It’s Engineer’s Week! Follow along as we learn about our a few of our super star civil engineers!
Michael Chattin, Engineer-In-Training

Describe your job in three words.
Problems and solutions.

Best thing about being in the CEG office?
More heat than the last office, but the feeling of community and teamwork is a plus as well.

Who would you most like to swap places with for the day?
Depends on the day, work is pretty fun but, on some mornings, probably anyone who can sleep in later.

What did you want to grow up to be when you were a kid?
An engineer.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
Spending time with Mary (wife), Winston (dog), and Mr. Oranges (cat) outside.

Website you visit the most?
Google… and Ajera for completing my timesheet.

What was your favorite toy as a kid?
Old N64 game console.

Can you play any instruments?
Not well, but I learned a song on an ocarina and can hit a drum.

What is the oldest thing in your refrigerator?
Neither you or me really want to know that answer.

What’s the strangest talent you have?
Stupid luck and a memory for incredibly unimportant things.

What are three things still left on your bucket list?
1) Visit the last few states I haven’t been in; 2) Legit climb a mountain, not just a rockwall or small cliff; 3) Grow old and watch my kids grow up eventually?

If you could have any one superpower, which would you choose?
Shapeshifting so I could spend time as a seagull stealing french-fries at the boardwalk.

Tell us something we don’t know.
A duel between three people is actually called a truel, and "Stewardesses" is the longest word that is typed using only the left hand.
