Justin Curtis
Structural Designer/ Engineer in Training



Justin graduated from the University of California Davis with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science in 2001. After several years working in the tech industry in the Bay Area, the lure of the mountains drew him to Tahoe and a job as a ski lift mechanic at Alpine Meadows. Two years of climbing lift towers and rebuilding grip assemblies was enough, and he shifted his career into the field of Structural Design and Civil Engineering in the greater Lake Tahoe Basin. Justin has over 13 years experience in residential and commercial construction, remodels, additions, repairs, energy analysis and green building. He utilizes his diverse experience and creative approach to bring a pragmatic yet inventive vision to all projects and to the MWA team.


All Staff

Over the last twelve years Kurt Reinkens of MWA has designed two personal residences for us. As a measure of our appreciation for his creativity and skill, we have just recently asked him to design a third. In the first two instances our design goals were distinctly different one from the other, yet in each instance he was able to capture the essence of the look and feel we wanted, producing a design that pleased us immensely. His interest in his craft seems to be insatiable. This is a man who is following his passion!

He is a delight to work with, responsive and enormously talented. We recommend him to you with great enthusiasm and without reservation.
