After graduating from Cal Poly SLO (Civil Engineering) in 2002, Doug Morales attended UCSD's structural engineering department to obtain his master's degree. In August 2003, he started working as an Engineer in Training at Richard Brady and Associates. His duties included design engineering and analysis for structures of multiple building materials including timber, masonry, concrete and steel. In 2004, Richard Brady decided to move him toward the construction management industry. Doug helped keep each project on schedule and consistently challenged the contractors to maintain the budget.

In August 2005, Doug changed career paths and moved into the dry utility consulting industry with Morrow Management. As a Project Manager, he maintained relationships as the lead dry utility consultant for Shea Homes, Lewis Operating Corporation and many other smaller developers.

Doug received his professional engineering license in February 2006 and in January 2008, Doug started a new corporation and started doing business as Doug Engineering, focusing on structural engineering for residential improvements and small commercial structures. He is currently building a loyal client base through a commitment to customer service and efficiency.
