Prior to my current role with Nexus, I assumed steadily increasing responsibilities over a 24-year career with Bloomsdale Excavating, specializing in grading, heavy highway and utilities.I began my career after earning an associate degree in Forestry from Penn State University, when I was selected to serve in the U.S. Army. I received a Military Occupational Specialty in Soils Analyst and Materials Testing at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. I served with the 809th & the 532nd Engineering Battalion’s as Quality Control Specialist providing testing to insure soils, asphalt and concrete were constructed in accordance with plans and specifications. This included roads, bridges and airfields in support of the war efforts in Vietnam.
