Orange County – Irvine, CA
My name is Sam Reynolds and I am a project engineer at the Orange County structural office. I received my bachelor’s from UC Davis and my master’s in structural engineering from UCSD. After graduating I was very excited to return to my hometown of Orange County to start my career at KPFF. I love what I do because there is so much to learn and new and exciting challenges every day. When not in the office I enjoy camping and backpacking in the eastern sierras.
I am a project manager at the KPFF Orange County Structural Office. I received my bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University and my master’s degree from Cal Poly Pomona. I worked for a structural engineering firm in Irvine, CA, for 8 years prior to coming to KPFF, where I designed wood-framed multi-family housing complexes, custom homes, concrete podiums, and parking structures. In my free time, I enjoy relaxing at the beach or in the mountains.
I am a project engineer at KPFF OC and have been working as a structural engineer since 2016. I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with my undergraduate and completed my master’s at the University of Irvine. My past experience providing retrofit services on soft-story residential buildings in the Los Angeles area gave me an understanding of the importance of lateral stability. With KPFF, I work on a variety of projects such as health care and commercial. I have been expanding my skills ever since!
Hi, I am a project engineer here at KPFF OC Structural. I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of California Irvine. Simultaneously, I had the opportunity to work in the field for a construction company and behind the desk for a residential structural engineering firm prior to life at KPFF. I am ecstatic to continue expanding my knowledge with such an accredited and positive team. Outside the office I am interested in classic car restoration and high-performance fun.
