We are pleased to welcome to Epstein Sam Helgeson, EIT - our new structural design engineer. Sam is originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, but came to Epstein by way of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!) where he earned his Masters in Civil Engineering this past December. If you were curious his thesis was on the evaluation of freeze/thaw durability of concrete pavements coated with curing compounds. (Sam you could not have picked a better place to put your thesis to test than Chicago!)

Sam currently resides in Lincoln Park, and is enjoying his new life in the city. When he's not working, Sam spends his time exploring his new surroundings, photography, and cheering on his beloved Badgers, Vikings and Twins. (Sam, we'll let the Badgers thing fly - 'cause this is Big Ten country, but we'll just ignore your love of the Vikes and Twinkies!)

Sam is also a bit of Vinyl LP nut - he currently has somewhere between 100-150 and his personal favorites include 'Cosmo's Factory' by Creedence Clearwater Revival, 'Trans Europe Express' by Kraftwerk, and 'Lost in the Dream' by The War on Drugs. (Sam - that's quite an eclectic collection to say the least!)

Again - Sam - welcome to the Epstein Family and keep us updated on your latest LP finds!
