OVERVIEW

As a project manager within the land and infrastructure development market, I have

managed the successful implementation of property acquisition due diligence, land

p lanning, plan approvals, platting and construction plan design efforts. I have also

managed multiple projects through the construction phase with a budget variance of less

t han 1 percent. I have been directly responsible for procurement, review, and value

engineering of design documents, facilitating and t racking permits required for execution of

t he project, defining and negotiating scopes of work for design professionals and

contractors, preparation of bid documents, procurement of bids, development and

negotiation of contracts, full contract administration, facilitating and coordinating public

u tili ty design/planning, project scheduling, approval of vendor invoices and contractor

payment requests, budget development and t racking, site inspections, and

communications with government officials to ensure work f low and compliance with rules

and regulations.

I have managed projects in the Federal government sector under the Department of

Defense Army Access Control Point and Automated Installation Ent ry Program. These

p rojects were geared toward infrastructure and perimeter security upgrades which are

designed to provide a greater level of force protection security from terrorist threats, while

creating improved t raffic f low and access to the installations, as well as reducing security

personnel demands and costs through checkpoint automation. I was responsible for

oversight of the engineering design including managing deliverables, quality reviews, and

i ncorporation of client comments. I was responsible for all aspects of project execution,

i ncluding staffing of self perform work, subcontracting, scheduling, processing and t racking

submittals and RFIs, revenue projections, profit margins, quality control, material

p rocurement and commissioning of the finished work including all closeout and warranty

documentation. The projects were executed under the oversight and authority of the Army

Corps of Engineers (ACOE).

I n the civil/environmental consulting market, I have served industrial, commercial and

government clients on a variety of environmental and civil engineering projects. I have

successfully managed both small and large projects through the engineering and

construction phases that have required multi-disciplined interaction and a focused

a ttention to detail, cost control, and teamwork. I have managed and performed project

requirements involving conceptual and detailed design plans, permit ting, construction

contract management, technical specification writ ing, regulatory liaison and negotiations,

site investigations, corrective action plans, and feasibility studies.

KEY PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

My skills and abilities have been developed over the years working with a diverse clientele,

as well as business associates, to provide project solutions that are practical, cost effective

and that meet stakeholder expectations. My key att r ibutes include the following:

Honesty and In tegrity: I strive to keep all business dealings t ransparent and focused on

t he needs of the end user or Owner.

I t h r ive and excel at creating, organizing and executing projects and project tasks to meet

client expectations for performance, cost and t ime commitments.

I have the ability to manage projects, project team members, contractors, suppliers and

t hird party service providers to produce quality results by defining realistic expectations

and performance criteria; by maintaining focus on the goals and objectives; and by keeping

d iligent and informed communications with all participants and stakeholders.

I have the ability to manage a project from conception to completion/commissioning,

i ncluding ini tial investigation of a problem, collection and organization of pertinent data,

and managing a multi-disciplined team to create solutions.

I have strong multi-tasking ability, which has been developed in my experience working as

an engineering consultant, real estate development manager and construction project

manager, all positions which were fast paced working environments with mult iple and

continual competing demands.

O ther Att ributes: ’I believe’ that I possess a good sense of intuition, and sound judgment. I

work well with others and enjoy dealing with people of all types and in all positions. I also

believe that these att r ibutes are held and exercised through periods of elevated pressures

and dealings with difficult issues.

oversight of a storm water management system at a large railroad facility. The storm water

collection system was reconfigured so that oily runoff would be segregated, collected and

t reated through a 2,000 GPM on-site API separator. Clean storm water runoff was diverted

for direct discharge to the natural stream. The project involved construction of over 2,500

feet of new RCP sewer, along with significant upgrades to the t rackpan collection and API

Project Engineering/ Construction Management –Environmental Remediation

Project Engineer/Construction Manager 2004: Project engineer for the development of a

corrective action plan (CAP) to address PCB contaminated soils and sediments at an

i ndustrial facility located along the Ohio River in Kentucky. The CAP employed soil

removal as well as multiple encapsulation scenarios for various portions of a 12 acre area,

w here each cap is designed to address unique exposure r isks. The CAP also required Corp

of Engineers approval via the Nationwide 38 permit process, due to the disturbance of

wetland areas to be remediated. Detailed construction specifications, construction plans

and construction costs were developed followed by construction bidding and management of

t he construction process.

Project Engineer 2004: Project engineer for the development of a corrective action

i mplementation plan (CAIP) to remediate approximately 1 mile of PAH contaminated creek

bed in Alabama. An engineering evaluation of different implementation methodologies and

a former leaking underground gasoline storage tank site located in Memphis, TN. A Mul ti-

Phase Extraction (MPE) System was designed and installed to remove free phase product

f rom the water table and soils. System construction and operation was conducted in

concert and coordination with redevelopment of the property into a major retail department

s tore.

P roject Engineer 2001-2002: Project engineer for remedial design of several solid waste

management units (SWMUs) at an Air Force base in Georgia, consisting of fuel and solvent

contamination in soils and groundwater. The planning phase of the project involved

construction quality control engineer for remediation of soil and groundwater impacted by

lead and arsenic at a former phosphate fertilizer plant site (CERCLA site) located along the

Ashley River in Charleston, SC. The pre-implementation phase of work involved the

p reparation of a Corrective Action Plan, bench scale t reatability studies, field pilot testing

of in-situ soil stabilization methods, remediation design, and preparation of contract

b idding documents. The remediation design required the use of multiple t reatment

methods including in-situ soil and groundwater mixing to depths of 30 feet, ex-situ mixing

and pressurized reagent injection to remediate shallow soils and deeper saturated soils and

g roundwater. Upon completion of remediation work, the site was redeveloped as a parking

lot for personally owned mili tary vehicles. The project required permits to be obtained

t hrough the Corp of Engineers and Oceanic and Coastal Resources Management, which

required hydrologic analysis for pre and post development conditions, stormwater retention

and outlet controls to protect the adjacent wetlands.

Project Manager/Engineer 1995-1997: Project manager and principal engineer for a project

requiring the investigation and remediation of groundwater at a battery manufacturing and

lead-smelting facility (RCRA facility) located in Georgia. The remediation system design
