Bio Sketch
Prior to joining UMass, Mr. McNally worked for the Massachusetts State Police, where he most recently supervised the Commonwealth Critical Infrastructure Program, which was tasked with enhancing security, resiliency, and protection of critical infrastructure and key resources. He also led many complex forensic investigations and taught courses at the State Police Academy.
Two overseas deployments as a United States Marine in the mid-2000s formed his interest in building design, resiliency, and energy efficiency. This experience also promoted his belief in the value of collaboration, communication, and leadership.
A builder and avid woodworker, Professor McNally’s research interests include indoor air quality, digital design, mass timber products, housing availability and affordability, and certification programs such as LEED and Passive House. Professor McNally teaches courses in energy-efficient building, and communications in construction.
