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.

When we decided to build on our lot at Lahontan we wondered how to choose the best architect for our needs and desires. We decided to interview and pay three architects for preliminary designs, designs based on what we stated we wanted. All three architects were personally recommended and came with excellent references.
After meeting with Kurt Reinken and seeing his plans and hearing his ideas, we knew he was the person to design our house. He incorporated our every wish into his design. He heard everything we said. He created excitement for us.
Working with Kurt has been a pleasure. He is responsive, always available for meetings, willing to accommodate changes and look into new ways of solving problems. He has a sense of humor. He conveys a sense of integrity in his work….that it be honest to the Tahoe-Truckee Sierra setting and sensitive to that environment.
