Great facilities don’t start with green fibers; they start with a base that never blinks. We sit down with Jeff Bresee and John Valastro to unpack how sports engineering transforms fields from maintenance headaches into safe, durable, multi-sport assets. From those early, painful turf installs to post-flood recoveries that reopen in 24 hours, we trace what actually keeps lines straight, balls true, and athletes protected: soils, drainage, and a design tailored to the site and the sport.

What does it really take to grow from an entry-level position to leadership? In this candid conversation with Nick Degan, CAD Manager at CEI Engineering, we uncover the surprisingly human elements that fuel professional development in the design and engineering world. Nick's story begins with a leap of faith – transitioning from mechanical engineering to civil design without prior experience. "I came in knowing nothing about civil engineering," he admits, reflecting on his 14-year journey th...
