As water resources engineer I am principally involved in hydrodynamic and water quality modeling with a focus on regulatory permits and requirements, stormwater management, drinking water studies, surface water system assessments, TMDL development and implementation, ESA, CERCLA, RCRA, NRDA studies, FERC relicensing of hydropower facilities and water quality management for multiple uses (supply, salmon, recreation etc.). I have over 16 years of experience in the development and calibration of hydrodynamic and water quality models (1-D, 2-D, and 3-D) throughout the U.S. I have been involved in several RCRA/CERLA projects involving groundwater, surface water, sediment transport, and fate and transport processes. My experience includes reviewing 2-D hydrodynamic and sediment transport and fate & transport models of riverine and estuarine systems. I have also served as an Expert Witness in cases involving hydrology; water rights; and hydrodynamic, sediment transport and chemical fate and transport modeling.

As a water resources engineer, I am principally involved in hydrodynamic and water, quality modeling with a focus on regulatory permits and requirements, surface water system assessments, Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL), ESA, FERC relicensing of hydropower facilities and water quality management for multiple uses (supply, salmon, recreation etc.). I have 10+ years of experience in the development and calibration of hydrodynamic and water quality models (1-D & 2-D) throughout the U.S. I have considerable experience in managing projects, budgets, work flow processes, quality control and assurance, and complex project implementation and has additional experience developing water quality monitoring plans and conducting field work. During my career I have conducted numerous peer reviews of surface water models for agencies such as the U.S. EPA, Oregon DEQ, WA Dept. of Ecology, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and also served as a reviewer for various water resource and hydrologic journals and have served on EPA national water quality grant review panels.

DHI Water and Environment (DHI) is an independent, self-governing, research and consulting organization with corporate headquarters located near of Copenhagen, Denmark. Worldwide, DHI has a staff of approximately 750, the majority of whom are professional engineers and scientistss.DHI offers a broad spectrum of services, software tools and model test facilities related to offshore, coastal, port, river, water resources, urban hydraulics and environmental engineering. DHI is a full service research and consulting organization that is actively involved in many projects dealing with all aspects of the water environment. DHI was established in 1997 as part of DHI Water & Environment group and has expanded with offices in Portland, OR; Tampa, FL; Boise, ID; Philadelphia, PA; Encinitas, CA; Houston, TX; and Los Angeles and Oakland, CA, houston, TX, and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
