With 27 years in the Public Works Industry focused on Pavement Preservation, my singular focus has been bringing people together to improve our nation's infrastructure. I believe wholeheartedly in giving back to our industry as evidenced by serving as President of the American Public Works Association Florida Chapter, founding two Chapter committees, serving as chair of the West Coast Branch and launching the PWD Roundtable in Florida as well as internationally. I was honored to receive the Florida Chapter's highest award, the 2019 Member of the Year. I currently serve as the Executive Coordinator for the Florida Pavement Preservation Council and still moderate both the Florida and the International PWD Roundtable. In addition I've been employed by Pavement Technology Inc. since 2012 where I am involved in educating local and state governments about the value of preserving their asphalt and concrete pavements. Recently we have begun introducing a new line of products poised to change the world! Our Ti line is capable of enabling roads to eat smog while also mitigating the urban heat island effect. I'm passionate about speaking on the virtues of preserving pavements and our environment.
