“Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.” —Stephen CoveyThroughout my 30 years as a project manager/geologist, I have overseen numerous projects related to geotechnical and water issues, mine permitting, hazardous and solid waste management, CERCLA, RCRA, Installation Restoration Program, environmental site assessments, underground storage tanks, and construction management.What I enjoy best about my work is delivering on projects (scope, budget and schedule), problem solving, and technical writing. I love a good challenge and face each new problem with patience and steadfast determination. The key is being able and willing to adapt to change as it occurs.In over 30 years as a project manager with experience in geotechnical, geological/hydrogeological, mining, water resources, solid waste, and environmental investigations, I have served as project manager, senior technical representative, task manager, principal investigator, site manager, and/or team leader. I have extensive experience with numerous complex drilling and sampling programs, including drilling and construction inspection, management, and oversight. I have also presented and participated at public meetings, provided professional certification, testified under oath, and have worked for and conducted negotiations with USEPA, USDA, USACE, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Navy, Department of Homeland Security, PADEP, FHWWA, NHI, PennDOT, ODOT, OEPA and various other federal, state, and local regulatory agencies.
