Howdy neighbors, this Jeremy coming at you with another exciting episode recap. This week we are joined by Ryan Barton. Ryan was born and raised here in the great state of Utah. Ryan is a friend of mine and a colleague at York Engineering.

We chat with Ryan about why he chose engineering….and how engineering chose him. Ryan talks about his education (master’s in civil engineering) and how that lead to his thesis work with accelerated bridge construction. We talk at length about city planning, poor airport construction and the Real Salt Soccer Team.  One of the most interesting stories Ryan told us was about his ‘Bubble Soccer’ or Concussion Ball incident. After flying out of the bubble suite and cracking his skull he literally lost 2-3 hours of his life…he knows it happened but can’t remember a thing.

This fun filled game of soccer landed Ryan a trip to the hospital and a craniotomy! I’m guessing Ryan hung up his bubble ball after that experience.

We also talk about the recent monsoon rains here in Utah. The total lack of rain in the past few months has led up to flash flooding, train derailment, and mud slides. I recap my weekend adventure at the Great Salt Lake. Chris and I both element over our sad gardens, and on a surprising note Bre’s mom is getting married!
