Specialty: I have experience consisting of geotechnical/geological

explorations and studies in eight states. My duties have included

providing oversight for monitoring well installation and drilling

activities utilizing the following methods; Hollow Stem Auger (HSA), Sonic,

Mud Rotary, Air Rotary, Direct Push, Reverse Circulation, Diamond Bit

Coring, and Standard Penetration Testing (SPT). In addition to oversight

services my responsibilities have included geologic logging and sample

collection, waste management, daily field progress reporting, and

interacting with the contractor's /client's representative, verifying that

requirements for subsurface utility clearance are complete and have been

adequately executed, and verifying by signature that all records are true

and accurate with respect to the drilling SUBCONTRACTOR'S daily activities

report. I have current 48 hour HAZWOPER training, 8-Hour Hazardous Waste

Supervisor training, First Aid/CPR, Rad Worker II and DOT/IATA 2-Hour. I

also have the following experience.

. Supervising earthwork out in the field such as soil removal and

backfilling

. Rock and soil (USCS) classification

. Geographic Information Systems, including ARCVIEW and ArcPad.

. Generating soil test boring records and subsurface profiles utilizing

the gINT software package and GeoSystems.

CAREER SUMMARY

Geologist TO/HSO: (Contract Geologist) SAIC Savannah River Site Aiken, SC.

January 2010 to May 2010. Supervised one of the sampling field crews

responsible for Lanthanum Bromide Gamma Surveys, Sediment/Soil Sampling,

Soil Sampling and Surface Water Sampling. Also responsible for seeing

that all sampling activities were performed according to project

specifications, utilized ArcPad to locate sample locations and enter

collection data, ensured that all test equipment was calibrated each day,

performed safety briefings, ensured proper use of PPE, ensured that all

field equipment was decontaminated properly at the end of each day, ensured

that field chain-of-custody forms were properly filled out and transferred.

Oversight for IsoFlow sampling and Gamma logging for a DOE reactor closure

project. Also responsible for seeing that all drilling and logging

activities were performed according to project specifications and safely.

Other duties included logging all field activities and describing soil in a

field book.

Operations Specialist: TFE Savannah River Site Aiken, SC. June 2009 to

January 2010. Person in charge of dewatering large steel boxes prior to

shipping. Assisted in the receiving and disposal of material from

demolition and decommissioning projects. Received computer based Waste

Information Tracking System (WITS) training. Additional training included

Nuclear Criticality Safety, Behavior Based Safety (BBS), Slit Trench

Operations, Waste Generator/Handler and Verifier. Assisted in the proper

storage, treatment, and disposition of waste, waste characterization,

regulatory compliance, waste verification, radiological and chemical

analysis, sampling and analysis, review of analytical data, recordkeeping,

storage practices, packaging, transportation, waste minimization and

pollution prevention. Duties included attending hazard analysis meetings,

performing pre-job briefings, notifying shift manager of work to be

performed and making sure all personnel are qualified to perform work and

are wearing appropriate PPE while adhering to strict procedures. Enlisted

the support of and work with support organizations such as RadCon, safety,

environmental, QA, etc.

Project Geologist: MACTEC Engineering Columbia, SC. October 2007 to May

2009. Responsible for preparing geotechnical reports and proposals under

the guidance of the project manager. Organizing field work and contacting

vendors. Monitoring and logging drilling operations in the field

including new nuclear reactor sites and reporting findings to the project

manager and installing monitoring wells. Utilized engineering software to

determine seismic Site Class based on N-Values per the International

Building Code, performed calculations to determine borehole volume,

compiled field and lab data into geotechnical software (gINT). Performed

hydraulic conductivity tests and assisted in seismic refraction surveys.

Well Site Geologist: (Contract Geologist) G.D. Barri and Associates Yucca

Mountain Project Nevada Test Site. February 2007 to September 2007.

Responsible for performing well site geologist functions in support of

sonic drilling and conventional coring activities, including collection,

handling, packaging and field identification of geologic units. We

routinely drilled thru alluvial deposits, volcanic tuff and welded ash to

depths of around 1000 feet. It was my responsibility to notify the

project manager when the target geologic unit was reached so the boring

could be terminated. All of the rods, bit, casing and depth had to be

measured to the nearest one-hundredth and documented at all times.

Geophysical logging was performed on certain borings prior to grouting.

Duties also included documenting drilling operations, completion of all

associated documentation related to drilling activities. The job also

required that I had frequent interaction with site personnel (Safety and

Health, Lead Laboratory Scientist, DOE, etc.) on matters relating to

sample acquisition and drilling operations. I also trained new hires to

perform my job duties and I reviewed QA documents prior to submittal,

looking for any errors or missing information and making the necessary

corrections or sending the documents to be rewritten.

Staff Geologist: (Contract Geologist) Converse Consultants Las Vegas, NV.

September 2006 to February 2007. Responsible for documenting drilling

operations and geologic logging of soil samples and rock core. Performed

seismic refraction, seismic resistivity and packer testing. Duties also

preparing lab assignment sheets and entering field logs into GeoSystems.

Major projects included drilling through 300 feet of water on Lake Mead for

a wastewater project. Also the Desert Rock Power Plant near Farmington, NM.

There I acted as the on-site shift supervisor, overseeing drilling,

sampling and testing for a 5800 foot monitoring well targeting the Morrison

Formation. Duties included maintaining an up-to-date log book of all

drilling activities, ensuring that all subsurface samples are properly

collected and stored and preparing a detailed lithologic log.

Rig Geologist: (Contract Geologist) MACTEC, V.C. Summer Nuclear Plant

Fairfield County, SC. April 2006 to August 2006). Duties included

monitoring the drilling or testing operations for conformance to specified

procedures. Documenting sample or test depths and test results.

Maintaining a field log for the boring, including classification of

materials recovered, recovery and RQD measurements for rock core. Placing

samples into the sample facility and providing the Site Coordinator with

input for progress reports.

Geotechnical Engineering Technician: Schnabel Engineering Alpharetta, GA.

April 2004 to February 2006. Responsible for monitoring the constriction

of category 1 dams and materials testing which included soil sampling,

concrete testing and rebar inspection. Reported geological conditions to

the project engineer and made geotechnical recommendations under his

direction. Performed geotechnical exploration which included recovery and

description of split-spoon sampling, recovery, description and RQD of rock

coring, pushing undisturbed tube samples and assisted in seismic

refraction. Monitored water level in piezometers and performed lab testing

such as concrete strength testing, lab proctors and sieve analysis.

Monitored the removal of unsuitable soil and the replacement of suitable

fill material, located borrow sources, performed soil compaction tests,

ensured that all earthwork was performed according to project

specifications.

Geotechnical Engineering Technician: United Consulting Norcross, GA.

February 2003 to April 2004. Responsible for construction monitoring and

construction materials testing in the field. Duties included monitoring

the construction of retaining walls, monitoring fill placement, testing

concrete, performing field compaction tests, and utilizing a dynamic cone

penetrometer to perform bearing capacity tests for footings. Assisted in
