"Great Results, Personable, Expert “ I heartily recommend Henry, having worked with him on two major earthquake retrofit projects -- one for a private residence, the other an entire condominium complex. He knows his stuff. His calculations are thorough. In my project management role, he's always been flexible, shows up when we need him (even on short notice), and has proven a very helpful negotiator. In my role as a client, he's insightful, deliberate, and communicates really well. He will explain things thoroughly or cut straight to the chase scene, depending on what you need. He's compassionate, patient, and a bit geeky (which is high praise). He's awesome! As a client, when you're betting the farm, he's the guy you go to. ” March 21, 2012"
