Blessed with oppportunity to lead and serve for over forty years as a civil engineer. My engineering career began in the Army as an Engineer Officer. The Army allowed me to apply my integrity and intelligence to work that impacted and improved the everyday world. In three Corps districts I had the opportunity to work on construction of civil works and military projects, ensuring that people and resources were aligned to deliver the projects correctly and efficiently. I collected a breath of experience and knowledge, accelerating me into 25+ years of managerial level roles.As a manager, I enjoyed advising, educating and explaining all the moving parts and steps of a project to the teams I worked with. My ability to coordinate work, understand and explain details involved in each step, delegate tasks, and reach a widely agreed upon outcome resulted in successful project completions. These projects were with organizations such as the Corps of Engineers, WSP USA (formerly Parsons Brinckerhoff in the USA), and Port of Seattle.
