About SHPE

Leadership

Vice-President

Leo Soto
The Boeing Company

I joined SHPE in 2006 as an undergraduate at Rutgers University. I joined for the opportunity to land the career of my dreams. What I immediately loved about SHPE was the Familia feeling of the organization. It was because of SHPE I was able to start my career at Boeing, where I currently serve as a Structure Design Responsible Engineering Authority. During my time at SHPE, I served as Chapter President at Rutgers University, Chapter President (and founder) of SHPE South Bay Los Angeles Professional Chapter, and now as RVP, where I represent the region to best serve their needs.

Kenny Linares
San Diego Professional

My name is Kenny Linares. I am from the greatest city in California; Modesto. I am the proud son of two Mexican immigrants. I transferred to the University of California, Irvine (Zot Zot!) and graduated with my degree in Civil Engineering in 2019. I have been involved with SHPE since the spring of 2017. I was EVP of SHPE at UCI during the 2018-2019 school year, when we won 14 total awards, including the SHPE National Medium Chapter of the Year award. I now work for Turner Construction in their Special Projects Division in sunny San Diego. I love watching sports and I am a big Los Angeles sports fan (Lakers, Dodgers, Rams). I recently started playing golf and I enjoy traveling and eating food!
