While at GEI I have focused my efforts on supporting large scale projects with all aspects of environmental and regulatory compliance. This spans the energy, infrastructure development, mining, and telecommunications industries and the challenges uniquely associated with each. Additionally, I strive to support our internal team by coaching and encouraging the next generation of environmental project managers. Our team seeks to ensure that industry knowledge is shared and passed down, that we help each other with the development of critical project management skills, and that we foster the relationships needed to continue the standards GEI has established.

Specific tasks related to these duties have ranged from WDNR/USACE and Michigan EGLE/USACE permitting of impacts to wetlands and waterways, Operating Plan and Environmental Analysis development under NEPA regulations, wetland delineation and reporting, Threated and Engendered Species surveys and reporting, SPCC program compliance management for substations, construction oversight for stormwater compliance, and oversight of waste management planning.
