summary
Engineering Manager with over 30 years of wide-ranging experience in the
design and construction of civil works projects with an emphasis on project
management, water resources, and construction management. Assembled and
led a variety of diverse multifunctional teams for the completion of Civil
Works Projects for the USACE, State Dam Safety Officials, State and Local
Governments. Mentored less-experienced members providing them career and
personal growth opportunities. Established close, long-standing working
relationships with clients to mutually develop superior, unique componetry
enhancing our projects. Combined my experience in all aspects of project
development, ranging from understanding the planning aspects to design and
construction with a hands-on approach to effectively orchestrate the
necessary design and project activities-often in the face of conflicting
goals. Most recently, I was the Water Division Operations and Delivery
Manager responsible for all of the project performance, staffing, and
project monitoring for the company.
