My experience spans multiple areas in the life cycle of projects including master plan studies, concept- and design-phase geotechnical engineering and environmental studies, preparation of design drawings and specifications, construction materials engineering and testing (CoMET), geo-instrumentation during construction (ground vibration and sound), facilities and environmental due diligence, and forensic studies.Registered Professional Engineer in DC, VA, MD, and PA, NCEES; LEED APBoard-Certified, Geotechnical Engineering (BC.GE) through ASCE's Academy of Geo-ProfessionalsSpecialties: Geotechnical and foundation engineering, environmental/facilities due diligence, slope stability analysis, construction materials engineering and testing.When not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids and our extended family in the U.S. and in Catalunya, Spain; reading (preferably historic non-fiction or fiction); listening to music [on vinyl lately], staying active with exercise either at the gym or outdoors (biking, running, and swimming mainly, and the occasional snowboarding/skiing trip); and following all sports with a weakness for the 'beautiful game'.
