Zachary Yarnall is currently in his 5th year of study in the Architectural Engineering Program at Penn State University. In summer 2010, he will graduate with a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering degree, with a focus in structural systems.

During the past three summers, Zachary participated in office and hands on work in construction/carpentry with David R. Yarnall, Inc. and Mr. Contractor, Inc. He also participated in office work and management with Applied Designs, LLC. These experiences provided him with valuable experience and insight into the design, coordination, and construction/renovation of a variety of residential buildings.

  In the short term, he looks forward to beginning work as structural engineer for a consulting or AE firm to gain knowledge and practical experience in the structural engineering profession and to obtain his license as a Professional Engineer (PE). Outside of academics, Zachary enjoys outside activities including music, music production, art, sports and boating.
