Versatile professional engineer with a proven ability to direct and produce technically complex civil and environmental projects. Strong desire to help improve the infrastructure needed to keep our communities robust and vibrant. Able to provide vigorous management and design skills to complete projects effectively.CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:• Modeled a complex series of storm water management systems to capture, purify, and reuse storm water for a demonstration project at 18th & Broadway in Kansas City. This on-going demonstration includes innovative solutions for environmentally sustainable lifestyles within an urban environment. • Secured a $250,000 contract to develop a 380 lot subdivision. Acted as the principle engineer for the project, supervising and preparing street and infrastructure design drawings. Calculated earthwork quantities and created models for detention design. Obtained all city and state permits. • Designed a parking lot with a state-of-the-art curb inlet and storm system, reducing total suspended solids in the design storm runoff by 80%. • Wrote a successful sanitary sewer improvement proposal and negotiated this task as a portion of a multi-task, $100,000, contract with a suburban municipality.• Designed a rural subdivision using state of the art Low Impact Development (LID) techniques, yielding a major financial savings by reducing the necessary storm sewer network while maintaining the natural beauty of the subdivision. • Evaluated an existing water distribution system for a western Missouri community, diagnosing problem areas in the aging system. Provided schematic design for improvements by modeling the system in support for their grant application through Missouri's State Revolving Fund program.Specialties: • Transportation (local and arterial streets, intersections, traffic control plans).• Utilities (gravity and force main sewers, drainage, and water networks).• Site grading and erosion control. • Permitting (local, state, and federal levels).• Technical writing to include reports and proposals.• Negotiating work efforts.• Preparation of scopes-of-work and operation and maintenance plans.
Listed skills include Stormwater Management, Drainage, Land Development, Autocad, and 17 others.
