Growing up in Parsons, Kansas, Keiv knew he wanted to design cities from an early age. He often created his own version of these cities in the sandbox or with LEGO bricks, and when he attended engineering camp at Kansas State University while in high school, he discovered his favorite pastime had a name: civil engineering.

As a valuable member of our Site Planning studio, Keiv has worked on some of our biggest projects, such as Wefald Hall at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, and the Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe, Kansas. A meaningful project to Keiv was when he had the opportunity to design the downtown streetscape in his hometown. The design team relies on Keiv for creative solutions on challenging projects. One of his favorite parts of his job is when the vision comes to fruition and the team gets to share with our clients and the community the sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a project.
