A Bit More About Me I’ve lived in New York most of my life. I was born in Rochester in 1967 and moved to Ithaca when I was 7. I was a creative kid. I loved to draw. I loved to build. I loved to take things apart. I tried to put them back together. I was also good at math. Mix 1 part Creativity + 1 part Math and what do you get? An Engineer! In fairness, I originally wanted to be an architect. My journey included a few twists and turns. Read on. ENGINEERING v1.0 I received my bachelor’s degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Clarkson University in 1989. After graduation I went to work in Syracuse, New York doing site development projects for Obrien & Gere Engineers. My work focused on NYSDOT Highway design, residential subdivisions, and commercial site development. Then the 1991 recession hit. Site development work dried up, so the company shipped me to New Jersey for a year doing hazardous waste remediation. ARCHITECTURE v1.0 In 1992, after a year of unwanted exposure to contaminated groundwater (and other organic compounds), I pivoted and was accepted in a graduate program for Architecture from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (That lasted 2 weeks – don’t ask). ENGINEERING & ARCHITECTURE v0.0 25 years old, and unemployed, I moved back to NY. ENGINEERING v2.0 Late in 1992 I left New York again and found myself back in New Jersey working for Spillane Engineering, a small municipal engineering site development firm. Over the next 4 years I worked on an array of projects including residential septic systems, residential subdivisions, commercial site developments, municipal utility projects (water distribution, sanitary sewers, stormwater collection systems), municipal highways, layout, grading, and utility designs. And, of course, all those projects required permits from local, state and federal agencies. I applied for many, many permits. I also was exposed to the municipal approvals process and represented a number of local municipalities as municipal engineer. ENGINEERING v3.0 In 1996 I said goodbye to New Jersey and made my way back to New York. I landed a job at The Sear Brown Group in Elmira. Sear Brown was a full- service Architectural and Engineering firm where I closely collaborated with Architects, Landscape Architects, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Protection, and Plumbing Engineers. In early 1997 I was promoted from Senior Engineer to Civil Engineering Manager, my first experience managing staff. ENGINEERING v4.0 My short, but intense, experience at The Sear Brown Group prepared me for the next 14 years. In 1997 I was back in Ithaca, New York working for The Thomas Group, Architects and Engineers (Now Tetra Tech). I came in as the only Civil Engineer amongst an experienced group of Landscape Architects. After a few years I was promoted from Senior Civil Engineer to head of the Civil Engineering Department where I supervised 10 staff of Landscape Architects and Civil Engineers. I was then promoted to Associate, gained a minor ownership stake, and took on greater responsibilities as Co-Operations Manager for the Ithaca office. In that position I managed over 100 Architectural and Engineering staff. ENGINEERING v5.0 In 2004 I felt the urge to leave the Corporate environment and go back to work for a smaller firm. I reached out to T.G. Miller, P.C. Engineers and Surveyors where I had worked one summer during college. I joined the T.G. Miller team as a Senior Civil Engineer and after 2 years, became a partner in the firm. Over 17 years at T.G. Miller, I had the pleasure of working on projects within the Finger Lakes region and throughout Central New York. The work at T.G. Miller mirrored that of my time at Spillane Engineering with a focus on Municipal Engineering and Private Development, and also exposed me to a third market sector - Higher Education. ENGINEERING v5.1 As COVID hit us all in 2020 and we were forced to work from home, I found myself enjoying the freedom it offered. By mid-2020 I decided I would retire from T.G. Miller to pursue a solo consulting career and Sciarabba Engineering, PLLC was born. I finished an extremely rewarding career at T.G. Miller on June 30, 2021 to run Sciarabba Engineering, PLLC full-time. RECAP I’ve worked for large, medium, and small companies. Some were purely engineering firms, some engineering and surveying firms, and others full- service architectural and engineering firms. I have been a surveyor’s apprentice, a design engineer, a division manager, an operations manager, and a partner. I have completed survey work, engineering work and even dabbled in architectural design. What have I learned? Engineering + design go hand in hand. They must in order to have a successful project.
