Greg is a recent addition to Luckett and Farley Structural, having relocated to Louisville from Los Angeles. There he worked with a nationwide consulting structural engineering firm, experience which has helped diversify the Team's perspective and approach to design. His project portfolio includes a wide spectrum ranging from museums to higher education to healthcare to multi-family housing to commercial tenant improvements. In addition to his design experience, Greg was a part-time faculty member of the Civil Engineering Department at California State Polytechnic University Pomona, where he taught undergraduate coursework in structural engineering for five years. In his spare time, Greg enjoys travelling with his wife Valerie, who is also responsible for introducing him the second love-of-his-life: the rolling hills of Kentucky. Weekends are mainly spent together, discovering all that Louisville (and beyond) has to offer. Greg is also a cancer survivor.

Best Part of Louisville: Can live, work, run, pray, and play within a 5-mile radius; also, the really great food and even better people.
I never considered myself a “history buff,” but when I heard (thank you Twitter) that the Louisville Free Public Library recently posted all Courier Journal newspaper articles from 1830 to 1922, I’m embarrassed to admit I was a bit excited. Since Luckett & Farley was founded in Louisville in 1853, it was the perfect opportunity to [more...]

We have a saying here at Luckett & Farley: ‘we deliver at the speed of x-cubed…with quality driving the deliverable.’ The term “Fast-Paced Project” doesn’t raises eye-brows or serve as an excuse for mediocrity…we call this “normal.” As was alluded in a previous post, Luckett & Farley utilizes technology to deliver infrastructure solutions to our clients.

What do you call a project involving a steam chamber, a web of structural steel, confined spaces, and zero time? Some might say that’s a nightmare; we call it an opportunity to implement new solutions. Luckett & Farley’s structural engineers were approached by its “raw-materials-producer” client to assist with installing new platforms and ladders for maintenance [more...]

Be mindful of these traits to help ensure you’re getting the most value, best service, and highest quality: 5) Think. Outside. The. Box. It’s cliché but true. Structural engineers who can uncouple their precepts from [more...]

Luckett and Farley Structural has been working tirelessly with one of our clients to address certain corrosion issues they’ve been having at their facility. We all know that concrete cracks; well, carbon steel rusts. But the processes within their 2002 industrial building exposes the structure to the double whammy of extreme heat and steam, occurring in hot-cold cycles throughout [more...]

A strange consequence of this disappointing economy we’re experiencing has been the immense activity seen in the Commercial and Industrial markets. The advent of competitive lease rates has forged increased movement from companies finding it wise to either relocate or purchase a building. Like the housing market, the cost of purchasing (even with the improvement [more...]

I recently had an idea to map all of the Henry Whitestone and DX Murphy buildings in Louisville, the buildings that left a legacy for Luckett & Farley to be proud of. What I thought would take a couple of hours to compile quickly morphed into a fascinating research project that is seemingly unending. There [more...]
