DBA is proud to announce the addition of Nathan Glinski, E.I. to our staff. Nathan is a recent graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology (like Dan and Tim! Go Jackets!). Nathan completed his M.S. in civil engineering at Georgia Tech where he also did his undergraduate work. While at Georgia Tech, Nathan was a research assistant under the supervision of Dr. David Frost, P.E. where he investigated the use of pile foundations as geothermal heat exchangers. In addition to his research, Nathan was a teaching assistant for an undergraduate geotechnical engineering course, gaining experience in a wide variety of laboratory soil tests as well as managing the grading of reports and homework for 100 undergraduate students. Nathan has been the resident summer intern for DBA since 2010 and will now be joining us full time as a staff project engineer.
On a more personal note, Nathan is also an accomplished trials motorcycle rider, having been riding since a youth. He has often ridden the courses and trails at the Trials Training Center (owned by Dan and co-located at DBA World HQ). He is a big volunteer/instructor/participant in events at the TTC, as seen in two posts last year here (helmet cam while riding a course), and here (instructor).
As you can see from his photo, he has adopted the official hairstyle of DBA. Coincidentally, being comfortable in a hard hat also means comfort when wearing your trials helmet!
