He is able to take very complex engineering concepts and deliver them in clear, concise, and engaging ways. He takes a vested interest in each of his students and genuinely believes in them. It was so much fun to sit down with him, almost 20 years later, and see that he hasn't changed one bit. Enjoy this conversation and get ready for some unexpectedness too!

Marsia Geldert-Murphey
Thursday Oct 08, 2020
Thursday Oct 08, 2020
Marsia found her passion for engineering at an early age when she asked her parents to take her to a public meeting to learn more about water quality implications imposed by a local gold mine. She is a people person with many speaking engagements to her credit including testifying to Congress on behalf of small businesses. Marsia is a true advocate for the engineering industry and the youngest generation of engineers as she serves on multiple boards and committees of professional organizations and college advisory panels.
I met Marsia several years ago at a conference where she was speaking. Once I learned that she graduated from the same university as I did and that she was also an entrepreneur, my interest was piqued and she has been a mentor ever since. It goes to show, if you can see parts of yourself modeled in someone else, you feel inspired to chase your own dreams too. Marsia is also a gardener and loves books and podcasts. I think you will also see her passion for team building and leadership coming through in this discussion as well. #theunboxingproject

She also has an artistic side and is always in the middle of a project. Enjoy this conversation! #theunboxingproject

Kate is a licensed architect and brings a wide range of experience to her projects. She has lived in Rome, California, Colorado and now back to Iowa. She has taken pieces of aesthetic, experience and style from each of these places. Kate is also very passionate about mentoring to students and serves on the board of direction for the Professional Women in Building, Des Moines as the Scholarship Chair. When I think of Kate, I think of a very optimistic, big idea, free spirit architect that is driven to give her clients a space that fully reflects who they are. Full disclaimer, Kate and I are good friends and professionally and personally collaborate frequently. And I have to say it's hardest to interview someone you know well. Especially when funny things keep happening. #theunboxingproject #PWBWEEK2020 #PWBProud #buildingwomen
