Episode 62 of the\\xa0WGI Unleashed podcast\\xa0takes us back to West Palm Beach, FL, to get to know David Gerber, a Project Engineer in our\\xa0Roadway (Transportation)\\xa0division. David (aka Gerber to most) has been an integral part of the WGI team for over a decade and has had\\xa0the unique pleasure of working out of several different WGI offices during his time here.

Despite thinking we knew all of Gerber\'s ins and outs, we discovered during this podcast recording that we had only scratched the surface.

We learned that he was born in Miami but grew up in the Lakeland area between Tampa and Orlando. Following high school graduation, he quickly booked it back to South Florida, where he first attended the University of Miami (UM)\\xa0before transferring to\\xa0Florida International University (FIU), where he completed his Bachelor of Science degree in\\xa0Civil Engineering.

We listened while Gerber told us how a chance encounter at a wedding was not only how he ended up here with us at WGI but also what spurred his interest in\\xa0transportation engineering\\xa0in the first place.\\xa0We learned that he primarily focuses on roadway design for public projects, handling the roadway geometrics, the phases of construction, and coordinating with all the other disciplines working on the project.\\xa0

Aside from talking about his career, we also delved into what Gerber enjoys doing in his spare time, which includes traveling\\U0001f9f3, trying new foods \\U0001f35c, playing trivia \\U0001f3c6, scuba diving \\U0001f93f, and simply spending time outside \\U0001f333.\\xa0
