I am responsible for project design and management. Involvement in both aspects of project development has allowed me to better coordinate with clients, contractors, review agencies, and other design professionals. My day-to-day design activities include stormwater management design, erosion and sediment control, site grading, road design, and utility layout and design. My management activities include project coordination and on-going communication with design professionals, review agencies, and clients. I also take part in billing, proposal preparation, and construction administration.
