Craig Friant Q&A Utah Infrastructure Report

My dad was a civil engineer, but I didn’t know what that meant when I was growing up. There is a technical school close to our home. I took mechanical drafting there during high school and liked it. My older brother was a Civil Engineering student. He knew I liked drafting, encouraged me to take some engineering classes at Utah State University, and I ended up getting my degree in civil engineering.

I was part of the group that organized our association. It was a different experience – something I had never done before, but I learned a lot. It was also one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had.
We – meaning me and our small group (most of whom became our charter members) spent about a year and a half preparing and exploring. We decided to launch. Reed didn’t come into the association until the middle of the first year.
