Meet Jerry Taricska, PE

Jerry Taricska, PE
Fire Protection Engineer and Business Developer
Coffman Engineers, Inc.

What do you do at your current firm?
I have been devoting my time to Business Development and Fire Protection Engineering.

What inspired you to join SMPS?
I recently relocated from Washington, DC to Portland, OR a few months ago and I was looking for a way to connect and grow.

What’s one thing about you (a fun fact) that not many people know?
I have an extreme sweet tooth…pastries, cupcakes, banana bread, chocolate… you name it!

If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I would love to be able to eat ramen and pho every day.

What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment to date?
I loved working on The REACH at the Kennedy Center as it was the first ever expansion to the existing structure. I worked closely with both the design team and construction team for 5 years to bring additional performing arts areas to life.
