Hi – My name is Mark, I am originally from Oswego, New York. I am a 39-year-old guy with a beautiful wife, Erin, and two boys. Keegan is 12 years old and Beckett is 2.
I am an Engineer Officer in the US Army with currently over 17 years in service. I have a Chemical Engineering undergraduate degree from Clarkson University and a Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Missouri S&T and a Master’s Degree in Geographic Information Science and Technology from Georgia Tech. All my work experience is in Program Management, Leadership, and Construction Engineering. I have worked for over six years as either a Project Engineer or Resident Engineer in a USACE construction office. This allowed me to sit for the PE exam in Construction Engineering. Which is what I did in April 2012 and passed. I studied for the exam starting after January 1st and studied for only an hour a night. I did not take any study courses, all I did was review the material that I am going to show you, and worked a lot of practice problems. I took the test on April 15th (in Germany on a Sunday), and I found out I passed on 30 May 2012 in Manas, Kyrgyzstan while heading over to Afghanistan for a year.
I am currently working at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) as a Division Chief in the NGA College near D.C.

My name is Jason, co-author of The Guide to Passing the Construction PE Exam. I’m 38-years old, I have a beautiful wife, 6-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son.
I graduated from Arizona State University earning a Construction Engineering degree and upon graduating went to work building, estimating, and designing large scale capital infrastructure projects. All of my work experience has been within capital projects where I’ve held various roles such as Project Manager, Senior Structure Estimator, Estimator, and Project Engineer. Throughout my career, I have competed and won several Hard Bid Contracts, Design-Build Contracts, and Construction Management @ Risk Contracts. Currently, I serve as a Project Manager representing a government agency, where we manage the delivery of capital improvement projects.
Along my career path, I’ve studied for and passed both the Construction PE and the Project Management Professional (PMP) exams.
As a civil engineer, I strongly recommend studying for and passing the PE Exam.
