Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, Lyle studied civil engineering and music performance at the University of Alabama in Huntsville & Calhoun Community College from 2020-2023. Lyle joined our team in April 2022 as a field technician before utilizing his on-the-job experience with soils & concrete in our laboratory, in which doing so he quickly became our laboratory manager in September 2023. Since then, he has revolutionized our laboratory & restructured all of our testing processes within AASHTO bounds, working with our principal engineers to provide our clients with consistent & accurate materials results that they can count on, every time. Lyle firmly believes that one should never stop learning, so in his free time he can be found tagging along with field personnel, project managers & engineers into the field to apply his experience while learning in 'on-the-fly' situations. He can also be found in our lab after-hours researching AASHTO, ASTM & ACI procedures trying new tests, techniques & methods to give our clients better results all while growing his knowledge & experience for the betterment of the company & himself. Outside of the workplace, Lyle often finds himself at home with his wife & son, playing the sousaphone with local brass bands, skateboarding, enjoying fireside conversations & cigars among friends & colleagues, or playing strategy-intensive single player video games. In the future, Lyle plans to acquire bachelor's degrees in both business management and engineering, eventually acquiring a P.E. License to provide quality geotechnical & structural engineering analysis in a rapidly expanding, high-tech world.
