Timothy Houle Hartford | Civil August 2021

Tell us about yourself! I grew up in Western Mass, went to college at the University of Arizona for Civil Engineering and currently live in Easthampton, MA. I am married to my lovely wife Kirsten and have two sons, Logan and Bradley.

What do you miss most about being a kid? I miss the largely responsibility free life. What is something you learned in the last week? Or since joining BL? I’ve learned some of the finer details of Civil 3D grading and how to use StormCAD.

What made you decide to come to BL Companies?

I came to BL because of the good benefits, the type of work I am now doing, and most importantly the good feedback I received from friends who also work here. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? I enjoy spending time with my family and fishing. What is a good piece of advice you’ve received? Don’t confuse effort with results.

Do you have a talent or hobby? My favorite hobby is bass fishing.

What did you want to be when you grew up? My childhood career aspirations changed a lot as I grew up, but the most consistent

dream was to become an aerospace engineer working on military aircraft.

What is a favorite vacation or dream destination? I love going back to Arizona to visit friends and family. My dream destination would either be to the Amazon Rainforest or Australia. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done? The hardest thing I’ve done was to move to Arizona for college, not knowing anyone in the area aside from my aunt and uncle.
