Hailing from rural America, Brian Gattshall cultivated his work ethic and self-awareness while growing up on a farm in Kansas. Transitioning to the civil engineering industry, he earned a bachelor of science from the University of Colorado at Denver and became a professional engineer specializing in transportation structures.
