Cory Nelson is a very smart engineer, who solved a marine dock issue that I had, with accuracy in calculating the exact numbers, to pass the strict city of Fort Myers inspections. I was extremely happy with his expertise, honesty and dedication to his work! I highly recommend him to my family, friends and everyone who needs an Honest and Smart Engineer!!!!
