Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests

Collects, analyzes, and interprets watershed data for input to environmental reports. Participates as a member of interdisciplinary teams working on land management planning, emergency burn rehabilitation, or other Forest projects. Follows prescribed project plans, applies conventional methods to analyze water samples and determine the causes of data anomalies. Evaluates the data, identifies trends and provides oral and written feedback on the results obtained. Prepares and carries out water quality monitoring programs, including preparation of plans, collection and analysis of samples, and interpretation of data. Supplies soil and hydrology related information to the land management planning process.Plans, conducts, and reports on assigned parts of hydrologic interpretive studies and soils related studies which typically adhere to established techniques and conventional methods of investigation. Collects and analyzes hydrologic data relating to one or more of the three disciplinary fields (ground-water, surface-water, quality-water), determining apparent reasons for data anomalies, and correlating the wide variety of factors that affect the information presented. Prepares reports of findings for assigned parts of interpretive studies summarizing the results of hydrologic investigations.Analyzes soils and related information and prepares appropriate interpretative material used to develop land management functional plans and resource plans for timber, water, range, recreation, wildlife, and guidelines for engineering soil stability and erosion control protection.Follows established Forest Service procedures to evaluate, assess, and adjust complex project or program plans to implement provisions of federal environmental standards. Examines data and completes reports in support of implementation plans for state, local and federal environmental protection programs. Performs other duties as assigned.

Moscow, Idaho

Worked as a research collaborator with the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station. My research group, led by Dr. Pete Robichaud, focused on forest hydrology related to post-fire management. Most of my efforts were focused on salvage logging related research projects, including skid trail treatments, and stream buffers. I was involved in all phases of the projects from writing proposals, planning, field work, sample processing, statistical analysis, writing publications, and public presentations.

Inovar is a contract electronics manufacturer for OEM products. My primary duties involved troubleshooting circuit boards and assemblies to the component level and making repair recommendations. I often performed my own repairs and held certifications in soldering like IPC-A_610, IPC 7711/7721 and J-STD-001. Other duties included technical support and operator training on product testing operations, troubleshooting of test equipment and software, and technical support of SPEA (flying probe) testing. As a technician lead, I was also responsible for training and tasking other technicians, and meeting department goals and objectives. I attended weekly leadership meetings and helped establish department goals and priorities. I also conducted reviews and evaluations of technicians under my direct supervision.

My primary role involved providing assistance with research activities. Activities included field work, lab work and GIS tasks. Most of my lab duties involved processing sediment samples. Examples of field work included taking discharge measurements on small order streams, stocking fish in remote mountainous locations using ATVs and frame backpacks, taking pebble counts, mapping stream channels and floodplains using a GPS RTK system. I was involved in many GIS-related assignments. I completed a debris flow hazard prediction analysis on the Twitchell Canyon Fire burn area using a model developed by Sue Cannon (2010). This model predicts debris flow probabilities and expected volumes and produces hazard ratings at the sub-basin level. Smaller projects included creating a DEM of a subsurface gravel layer using well log data, digitizing ravines and bluffs on a large stream network, digitizing terraces and floodplains, and monitoring stream channel migration.

Logan, Ut

I assisted in programs offered by the extension. These opportunities gave me a variety of experiences like taking field samples, visiting project sites, teaching field-workshops for educators, and students, hosting water quality science activities for children and adults, training water quality testing volunteers, hosting community events, developing extension websites and databases, and maintaining data quality. I repaired, calibrated and maintained hydrologic equipment. I also held general office and lab duties. I was involved with such programs as CMAP, Streamside science, The Bear River Watershed Celebration, Utah Water Watch, Natural Resources Field Days, 4-H camps, and developing the interactive educational touch-screen display for the Swaner Ecocenter near Park City, UT.

Minot Afb, Nd

Primary duties involved all maintenance and ground operations with ALCM and ACM cruise missiles. Three years of specialized verification and checkout equipment (VACE) duties included maintenance, calibrations, troubleshooting and repairs of all missile testing and verification equipment, including MRATA and ESTS equipment. Earned the distinguished graduate award at every technical training school I attended. Earned rank of Staff Sergeant. Completed Airman Leadership School as the distinguished graduate. Earned an Associate's degree from the Community College of the Air Force in Electronics Systems Technology. Frequently served as a maintenance team lead and VACE trainer/shift supervisor. Served most of my time as a Warbird at Minot AFB, ND in the 5th Munitions squadron. Served a 6 year term with an honorable discharge. Held a TS/SCI security clearance.
