He is a member of the Structural Engineers Association of Washington (SEAW), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), and the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

In his personal time, Jacob enjoys spending time outdoors hunting, camping, and fishing with his father. His favorite destinations include the Queen Charlotte Islands, Lake Chelan, and anywhere with his wife, Annie. He is also an avid supporter of Washington State University athletics with football season tickets and travels across the country to watch the Cougs play away games.

Logun Rasmussen is a Licensed Structural and Professional Engineer and Co-Founder of GLR. He began his engineering career in 2004 after graduating from Washington State University and went on to spend 11 years at a private consulting firm, where he advanced to the role of Associate. This experience built a strong foundation in both technical design and project leadership across a wide range of construction types.

Logun brings a well-rounded perspective to his work, shaped by an early and practical background in the construction industry, including residential, commercial, and road construction. This hands-on experience gives him a strong understanding of how structures are built in the field, allowing him to deliver designs that are not only structurally sound, but also efficient, cost-effective, and constructible.

In 2015, Logun co-founded GLR with the vision of creating a firm grounded in responsiveness, technical excellence, and real-world constructability. He plays a key leadership role in guiding firm strategy, mentoring staff, and delivering high-quality projects, helping establish GLR as a trusted partner for architects, contractors, and developers.

Logun’s technical strengths include wood and mass timber (CLT), structural steel, and precast concrete systems. He is particularly experienced in Design-Build delivery and is known for producing efficient, practical solutions that align with fast-track, team-oriented project environments.

He remains active in the industry through organizations including SEAW (past local chapter president), AGC, ABC, and AIA.

Outside of the office, Logun enjoys working on his property with his wife and dogs. He is an avid outdoorsman, spending his free time bowhunting, horseback riding, and enjoying winter in the snow. His rural background continues to influence both his work ethic and appreciation for hands-on problem solving.

Licensed Professional Engineer Trevor Anderson brings a practical, solutions-focused approach to structural engineering.

Trevor is a member of the Structural Engineers Association of Idaho.

Outside of work, Trevor and his wife, Caitlin, enjoy spending time with their three children. Together they like to fish, hike, ski, bike, and spend time outdoors.

Licensed Structural and Professional Engineer Steve Rice started his professional engineering career in 2012 at CSHQA. He also worked at Lochsa Engineering before joining GLR in 2020. His experience includes various single and multi-story steel, light-gauge, wood, masonry, concrete and post-tensioned concrete structures.

Steve enjoys that buildings provide for needs of the community and can inspire the people who use them. He enjoys using math in a practical way to solve unique challenges and provide spaces which may otherwise be difficult to achieve.

Steve received his Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management in 2010 and his Master of Engineering degree in Civil Engineering with a structural emphasis in 2014 from Boise State University.

Steve is married to his wife Jill, who he met while studying at BSU. Together, they have 4 children. As a family they love to spend time outdoors hiking, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and discovering hot springs around Idaho.

Licensed Professional Engineer Drew Hopkins has wide-ranging experience in the field of structural engineering. Drew grew up in southern Idaho and began his career in 2013 with a structural engineering internship in the city of Boise. While in college he was active in ASCE and participated in international service trips to Belize. In 2014 he graduated with Distinguished Honors from Boise State University and relocated to the Greater Seattle area. Since then, he has had the opportunity to live in great cities like Bend, Boise again, and now Spokane.

Drew’s experience began in 2014 at AUE with the anchorage and support of various MEP components. His focus eventually shifted to the design of commercial buildings and tenant improvement projects. Drew has completed projects for well-known retailers across the United States in locations like Miami, Nashville, and Manhattan. Along the way he has dealt with unique challenges ranging from the removal of columns in existing malls to the design of 25ft tall storefront glazing.

In 2020 Drew joined Plan North Engineers and gained experience in residential, multi-family, and modular projects. He delivered engineering solutions for complex custom homes in high-seismic and heavy snow load environments like Truckee and Lake Tahoe.

Since joining GLR Engineers in 2023, Drew has managed a diverse range of structural engineering projects involving both new construction and renovations. His experience includes historic renovations, school modernizations, church sanctuaries, and commercial pad development. Notable projects include the reconstruction of the historic Yale Hotel, originally built in 1908 and damaged by fire in 2023, as well as the renovation of the historic F.C. Robertson Building, constructed in 1912. These projects presented unique engineering challenges due to the combination of moderate seismic risk in Spokane and the complexities associated with unreinforced masonry construction.

Drew strives to deliver the highest level of coordination with each discipline on the design team. He does this by being well organized and maintaining a constant line of communication with clients. His favorite part of structural engineering is developing relationships with architects, engineers, and contractors over the course of a project.

When he is not working, Drew enjoys spending time in the mountains and lakes of Idaho and Washington. He and his wife enjoy everything outdoors including golfing, camping, fishing, and riding motorcycles.
