I-ENG-A of Western Idaho (Division of Leavitt & Associates Engineers, Inc.), Nampa, Idaho (Oct. 2015 to Dec. 2016) Director of Forensic Engineering
Charged with leading the effort to build a new, franchised, forensic engineering presence in southwestern Idaho. The strategy included setting up the business network, developing the revenue base and servicing the resultant sales activity. Within a year, though an active network was established, the resultant business activity did not meet economic expectations. The business was “mothballed” in early 2017. Power Burns and Roe (Division of Power Engineers, Inc.), Meridian Idaho (Nov. 2005 to June 2015) Senior Mechanical Stress Analysis Engineer
Successfully led single and multi-discipline mechanical engineering projects for industrial and power projects including company’s first and two concurrent build binary geothermal power plants, companies’ first solar augmentation project for a coal fired plant.
Successfully developed piping and pipe support standard department documents and calculations. Accomplished the introduction of Intergraph’s Support Modeler (Pelican Forge) for PDS including training and the creation of standard support library. Trained mechanical department junior engineers in pipe stress and supports in B31 analyses. Effectively implemented a method to analyze underground high pressure electrical casings that are to be exposed during excavation
