PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Senior Geotechnical Engineer - Project Manager, Professional Service

Industries, Inc. (PSI), New Orleans, LA / Port St. Lucie, FL (11/06 -

Present)

Lead engineer for various hurricane and flood protection projects involving

design of levees, floodwalls, and canal improvements using USACE criteria.

Performed a geotechnical engineering study for a marsh restoration project

on the Louisiana Gulf Coast involving construction of containment levees

and hydraulic fill in accordance with LA DNR criteria. Managed the

geotechnical investigation and design for a USACE project raising

approximately 15 miles of Mississippi River levees. Performed geotechnical

design for approximately 30 miles of flood protection levee enlargement in

South Texas. Prepared geotechnical reports and foundation (shallow and

deep) engineering recommendations for new construction of casino and mid-

rise hotels; ethanol refineries; single and multi-family residential

development; pipeline and cable installations; stormwater ponds, pump

stations, and sewage treatment plants, military facilities, airport

facilities, schools, port/wharf infrastructure, and various retail

(including big-box) and commercial development projects, in southeastern

Louisiana and Mississippi. Classified soil samples, determined rock and

soil properties, analyzed field and laboratory test data, performed

engineering analysis (bearing capacity, settlement or expansion estimates,

slope stability, seepage, sheetpile wall design, lateral earth pressures,

axial and lateral pile capacity) and authored reports. Mentored junior

engineers.

Senior Engineer, Consolidated Engineering Laboratories, Sacramento, CA

(7/03 - 1/06)

Senior Engineer in charge of a small satellite office (annual fees $2

million), managing geotechnical engineering projects (shallow and deep

foundation design), a construction materials testing laboratory and

oversight of 12 technicians/inspectors, 2 engineers, and office personnel.

DSA (Division of State Architect)-LEA Engineer, and Laboratory Manager for

the Sacramento Division Office: Joint P&L responsibility for Sacramento

Division. Laboratory responsibilities included equipment calibrations,

equipment/supplies purchasing, training of laboratory technicians,

oversight of AMRL and CCRL participation, staffing of technicians and

sample pickup drivers, tracking of lab profitability, engineering review of

testing results, and preparation of final affidavits. Designed and
