Crestmont Council Chair Jim Reeves recently announced the appointment of Council member John Schuricht to chair the Council’s Property Committee. This committee provides counsel and oversight to Crestmont College’s physical plant and property resources. Training Principal Steve Smith commented that “John Schuricht is well-placed in this appointment; he is very supportive of the college and the Salvation Army, and he has the talents we need in this role.” John is a practicing structural and civil design engineer and a principal of his own firm, Palos Verdes Engineering. John completed his undergraduate and graduate training in engineering at California State University, Long Beach.
Prior to joining and directing Palos Verdes Engineering, John headed the Structural Engineering department at the South Bay Engineering Corporation for twelve years from 1978 – 1990 and was a Senior Facilities Engineer at Hughes Aircraft Company in El Segundo, CA from 1966 – 1978. He brings over forty years of engineering experience to his clients. He has been named as an expert witness in more than two hundred cases to date. He investigates and reports on structural distress, construction defects and seismic analysis. His service on our Council is a distinct asset, and for that we are grateful.
 John lives in Palos Verdes Estates with his wife Kathy, a travel agent; John is an active member and past-President of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Rotary Club. He is a talented musician and quite a soccer enthusiast.
John and Kathy are wonderful parents to their three children, Elizabeth, Mike and Andy. Most importantly, he is a friend of the Army, and we are fortunate to have him in our midst.
