PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

1989 - 2015: Principal, SSD Consulting, Richmond, CA Consulting and project management services in the areas of business development, technology development, environmental compliance, construction management and business process consulting. SSD Consulting is a private consulting firm with original motto of "focused business and technology consulting." A typical engagement begins with helping a CEO or VP with a problem, and ends with working for that firm as a

"hire." I have worked on proposal preparation and consulting for engineering and environmental services, large scale (over 10Billion USD) economic development initiatives, entitlement and construction services and new product development consulting as an independent consultant.

This fictitious business (SSD Consulting) is a nimble way for an entity to hire me as a 1099, test me out, then engage me full time when ready. I am ready to help and engage as W-2 or 1099 at this time. I started service to Environmental Resource Group on 10/20/2015. Connect with me there at acvtts@r.postjobfree.com.

2002 - 2004: Project Manager, Redevelopment Agency, City of Richmond, CA The City of Richmond was faced with loss of over $15million in Federal Disaster Relief Funds for the repair and renovation of a Historic Building owned by the Richmond Redevelopment Agency unless a project was able to meet a deadline. I was recruited to manage a $55million two-year project converting a Brownfields, earthquake-damaged historic industrial building (Ford Assembly Building- “FAB”) to a rehabilitated light industrial and office, public assembly building. Work included federal and state oversight, contract negotiations, hazardous materials remediation and historic preservation. I managed city resources, supervised contract and preservation compliance and facilitated a fast tracked program to complete certain tasks to meet FEMA directed deadline which required work valued at $15million be completed following NEPA, CEQA and other restrictions within a 11 month timeline. By applying lean construction techniques, accelerated work progress 19 months ahead of the chosen developer’s original schedule.

Additionally, just prior to developer assessment and selection of a new, financially sound developer for the FAB I was assigned to manage 300+ acre Point Molate Naval Fuel Depot under BRAC. With the Assistant City Attorney, negotiated quit claim deed with Navy including defining mitigating actions to remove any use restrictions, oversaw environmental actions by Navy and its contractors and supported remedial action and commercial development programs for this former Naval fuel depot. This included review of RFQ responses, analysis of economic models and preparation of studies and plans for selection of a developer. On November 9, 2004 the City of Richmond sold this land to a Developer for $50million with a potential of $400million in long term cash flows to the city.

This was a two year contract assignment. Additional consulting under special services contract to City of Richmond for as-needed additional services was completed in September, 2008..

2001 - 2002: Project Manager, Mendoza & Associates, San Francisco, CA A joint venture construction management team was under fire by the Director of San Francisco International Airport due to a contracting and performance mess amounting to work more than $100million over budget with most of the out of scope work not negotiated and tens of millions in claims by general contractors and subcontractors. My employer, while not responsible for the root cause of the out of control budget issues, was responsible for solving the problem. The incumbent was removed at the request of the Airport. I was hired as the replacement Project Controls Manager for joint-venture construction management at San Francisco International Airport project. I supervised five staff in auditing and negotiating contracts and contract change orders totaling

$165million with three prime contractors for Security and Special Systems. I closed responsible prime contracts for negotiated amounts and defended all claims to the benefit of the client [SFO-Airport]. Project special notes included bankruptcy of one prime’s parent company, stop payments and disallowed project claims of over $10million. Construction management controls included 100% computer based document records and retrieval, project management tracking and reporting programs and Access® database 06/17/16

analysis of all certified payroll and project rentals and purchases. This intensive, computer-based auditing led to confirming analysis of over billings due to severe timekeeping errors by subcontractors and revised invoice payments negotiations. All irregular charges were successfully challenged and client’s interests were successfully defended. Savings to the Airport exceeded $15million over prior estimated obligations. Marketed to executives of SFO and expanded our product services for an additional

$3million in Construction Management for the BART [Bay Area Rapid Transit] station. 1998 - 2001: Associate Senior Engineer, (contract) Weiss Associates, Emeryville, CA I was asked to assist this company in developing project winning proposals and managing projects requiring expertise in environmental compliance, rehabilitation and novel remedial technologies. Working directly for the Vice President, Innovative Technologies, I specialized in business development and suitable application of new technologies in process industry services and site clean up using Weiss Associates’ patented/licensed technology for advanced direct current technologies for enhanced soil and ground water clean up. Applied other vendor technologies in multi-media filtration and adsorption systems and in advanced applications of bio-treatability of contaminated sites. Provided client support from problem analysis to preliminary conceptual design through to final constructed treatment trains and operations. In the area of environmental treatment provided senior level consulting for concept development, bench and field pilot studies, and scale up to full treatment systems. Evaluated applications of BACT for use in soil, ground water, air emissions and wastewater clean-up. Provided strategic marketing and proposal preparation support. Business Development work in lead generation, preparation of marketing material, seeking and providing presentations to prospect client sectors. Work included defining technical approach for market introduction, project teaming, and product pricing strategy as well as authoring specific proposals. Was able to help Weiss Associates win projects over incumbents of much larger size with focused proposals that provided value enhanced services to prospects. Work won exceeded several millions per year with average project values from $50thousand to over $25million Work for these new clients expanded due to quality of proposed work scope and technical edge provided in the services by Weiss. Following a violation of contract agreement by the owner, I stopped all further work. I still retain good relationships with senior staff at Weiss Associates.

1997 - 1998: Engineering Manager, ATI Engineering Services, Inc., San Francisco, CA The firm was the 70th fastest growing firm in the San Francisco Bay Area (per the SF Business Times) and the president needed to unload the responsibilities for its satellite San Francisco A/E Office. I was hired to develop and manage new work in the area of industrial and environmental business operations as well as manage existing project workloads. By recruiting professional engineering and administrative talent I expanded office to staffing from three to eight with greater than 95% group billability. I proposed, won and managed diverse work in engineering, telecommunications, and commercial development as well as water quality treatment design and specification. I met with and secured significant client (Six-Flags/Marine World) work from site walk through proposal and directed engineering tasks for fast track engineering designs for construction of

>$5,000,000 investment in less than 5 month schedule. This project included my responsibility for technical direction of ATI’s main office engineering staff as well as all 06/17/16

1993 - 1995: Principal Engineer/Group Manager Environmental Engineering, Harding Lawson Associates, Novato, CA

The engineering department was considered a liability both within the company as well as by many clients. Much of this was due to lack of senior, experienced talent in administering engineering deliverables and performing work on time, in scope and on budget. This resulted in loss and abandonment of projects, project write-offs, poor receivables performance, poor morale and high turnover and below standard earnings per employee. I was recruited to provide management to and "hard engineering" direction for environmental engineering services.
