Jamie Newton
Principal
“I enjoy the challenging aspects of engineering problem-solving. One of my favorite quotes attributed to Albert Einstein is, 'If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.' This approach requires discipline and can be a challenge to not just jump to the apparent solution.”
