I have been proudly leading the charge at The Galli Group since 2024, in my new role as owner, after seven years of loyal service. I am enjoying setting the strategic direction for the company and occasionally reminding folks that “geotechnical” is not the same as “geothermal” (though both involve digging holes). With an MS from Missouri S&T and a BS from FUTO in Nigeria, I am a certified engineering geologist, registered geologist, and a professional engineer; because clearly, I enjoy collecting credentials like they are Pokémon cards.

At work, I usually wear multiple hats: client liaison, project advisor, and occasionally referee during office debates about soil classification. I pride myself on clear, direct communication, which is just a fancy way of saying I don’t beat around the bush when your project needs answers fast.

I am a proud Nigerian-American who has adopted Grants Pass’s laid-back lifestyle, perfect for someone who has mastered the delicate art of juggling a career, three kids, soccer coaching, and chess strategies. Outside of engineering, you will often find me passionately debating the merits of Nigerian vs. Thai vs. Indian cuisine. Spoiler alert: It’s always a tie!

In short, if you need geotechnical expertise or a partner for your next chess game, I’m your guy.
