Nat Wongprasert, PhD, is returning to CGA after a several-year hiatus to get a successful business off the ground. He and a friend opened a Thai restaurant in San Francisco in 2006, and not only did it survive (a rarity in the City) but it thrived! He missed engineering, and has returned to us as a Senior Consultant, and will be primarily involved in structural modeling and field work (as before) and some of the firm’s internal research projects. We will also be calling upon his well-honed management skills from time to time.
