Failure is inevitable but disastrous consequences are not. Any human effort can fail. In fact, failure is a necessary step toward learning and innovation.

However, when we do dangerous work—the kind of work that creates high value for companies, communities, and society—the consequences of failure can be catastrophic.

The first time I met Kyler Blackwood, he was a bruised and battered boy with fire in his eyes and nowhere safe to land. Since the first time he kissed me, he was my best-kept secret, my quiet rebellion, my haven in the storm.

And when Kye’s past collides with my present, everything shifts. It’s a choice neither of us expected. A bond that never really broke. A line we were never meant to cross.

The role of the engineering consultant has never been more complex. Today, we stand at the critical intersection of three powerful and often conflicting forces: the imperative for public safety, the demand for global sustainability, and the realities of client budgets and timelines.
