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.

natural gaslines, under ground power lines, fiber optics and the Cal Nev

gaslines which supply all of the gas to the Las Vegas Valley. A portion of

this project also crossed the existing Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), and

work was also completed within the UPRR right-of-way, which required close

coordination with the UPRR to obtain all of the necessary permits. This

project is the corner stone to the flood control work in the City of Las

Vegas, and was necessary to stop the Charleston Underpass for flooding,

even in minor events.
