As Parrish & Partners’ Surface CEI Operations Manager, I am responsible for overseeing construction inspections from start to finish. With more than 34 years of experience, I serve as a representative for the client on behalf of Parrish & Partners for construction projects. My ultimate goal is to ensure our clients are receiving the highest quality inspection and engineering services. I provide engineering insight to effectively and efficiently maintain clients’ transportation systems by continually utilizing my experience in highway construction, operations and maintenance. My responsibilities consist of supervising, mentoring, and training Parrish & Partners’ inspectors to provide clients with certified, knowledgeable inspectors who can successfully perform all CEI services needed. I have over 28 years of transportation design, construction, operation, and maintenance experience with SCDOT. I began my career in the Road Design department and advanced through Maintenance, Construction, and District Administration positions. While I was actively involved in all regions of South Carolina, I spent over 24 years of my career employed within SCDOT District 4. I served on various technical, leadership, and administrative advisory committees in the roles of Resident Construction Engineer, District Construction Engineer and District Engineering Administrator. I also served as a CEI manager for a national engineering firm for four years overseeing the day-to-day CEI operations. I worked closely with clients to ensure their inspection and engineering needs were met.
