Graduating with both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in civil engineering, Colby spent the first part of his career overhauling nuclear attack submarines. After this, Colby worked in the A/E consulting engineering field. His notable works include structural and mechanical systems for a sculpture at the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece. He, with his wife, Sarah Emily, founded Colby Company Engineering in 2008, a Portland, Maine-based firm. For the full article, click here Colby Co.
