BKBM Engineers

We’re excited to announce that Jack DeGonda has joined BKBM as a Structural Design Engineer! ?? Jack brings a master's degree in #StructuralEngineering from the University of Minnesota and valuable experience in concrete and steel design from his previous work experience. He’s eager to dive deeper into wood and mass timber design with us at BKBM. His background in physics and diverse experiences—including driving the Zamboni for the hockey team at Gustavus Adolphus College—give him a unique perspective that we know will enrich our projects. Outside of work, Jack’s an outdoor enthusiast—enjoying long-distance running, Nordic skiing, hiking, and camping—and he even runs his own custom sauna business. We’re thrilled to have you on board, Jack! Let’s get to work!
