Graham Bell's Linkedin Analytics

My Career has been a journey of following my passions for engineering/science and innovation.In addition, my family has a long history of entrepreneurship. I worked through high school and college gaining practical, hands-on experience in engineering, as well as food service and bar-tending. My mentor once told me "An Engineer can do for $1 what any fool can do for $5". I apply this philosophy everyday. After completing my BS, MS and PhD programs at UCLA, I worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the Metals & Ceramics Division which fulfilled my need to conduct state of the art research. The opportunity to become and entrepreneur came to me in 1993. I bought a small engineering company, operated and grew it over the next 18 years. I often say, if I had known what I was doing, I would have never done what I did...but it all worked out. In order to give my staff and myself the opportunity to grow to the next level, I sold my small firm to HDR Engineering. This change and challenge has given me and my staff the chance to grow and succeed in ways none of us could have ever imagine. As a team, we continue to bring innovation and practical solutions to our clients and their projects. The journey continues and I look forward everyday to continuing to provide value and service to my clients, my employees and my family.
