Civil Engineer

I am a Professional Civil Engineer with 24 years of experience in various civil engineering disciplines including construction management, roadway and bridge code compliance and utility verification, design and relocation. During the past 14 years I have worked on 12 different DART related projects and have served as the Third Party Review Manager for all property owned by DART. Most recently, I served as the RCM for the NWROF Project. This project has afforded me the opportunity to perform quality audits, monitor and resolve nonconforming construction, write supplemental agreements, review pay applications, supervise change negotiations, monitor construction, coordinate as-built drawings and oversee the closeout of this project. My various other positions and projects have allowed me to research and enforce Federal, State and local codes and regulations, assist in the writing and modifications of project specifications, review submittals and review construction issues and claims. With my years working on these projects and within the engineering community, I have become familiar with construction policies, requirements and codes. I have also used Microstation to produce base files and modify contract drawings.
