I have a proven record of leadership, technical expertise, and financial
responsibility. Having grown my own Civil Engineering and Land Surveying
firm from 2 employees to 65, and managed engineering departments for other
firms has given me insight into the needs of employers and clients and the
ability to meet those needs. I enjoy solving new challenges, mentoring
others, and achieving success for my team. A Career highlight has been
working with the Town of Collierville, Tn during the nine year period it
was in the top ten fastest growing communities in the U.S. Throughout my
career, I have consistently shown vision and leadership in adopting new
cutting edge technologies and processes enabling greater productivity and
understanding of my profession.
