2006 – 2008:URS Corporation, Tallahassee, FL

Retail Petroleum Business Development Manager

As Business Development Manager, I acquired contracts to perform environmental assessment and remediation services at six petroleum contamination sites valued at approximately $400,000 to $650,000 per site. I initiated and maintained business relationships with clients, provided regulatory and technical guidance to clients at meetings with state regulatory personnel to help settle site cleanup issues, and reviewed technical documents and cost proposals. To enhance business development opportunities and keep current with cleanup program changes, I regularly attended industry and regulatory agency meetings, conferences and workshops associated with the Florida Preapproval Cleanup Program.

Senior Consulting Geologist

In my role as a senior-level consultant to our commercial and industrial clients, I was often consulted to resolve technical issues that arose during implementation of remedial measures. At an Air Force Base in Panama City, Florida I was responsible for identifying the technical criteria needed to re-negotiate an unfavorable lump-sum contract to a profitable cost-plus contract. I reviewed previous assessment and remediation projects conducted at a petroleum contamination site and provided documentation to convince the US Air Force contract and environmental officials that approximately $450,000 of remediation services should be conducted by URS. I reviewed and certified project deliverables to ensure compliance with State and Federal regulations and meet contract milestones.

Senior Project Manager

As a senior-level Project Manager, my clients included several national and international Fortune 500 companies with projects encompassing a wide variety of geological and environmental disciplines. Most recently, in 2007 and 2008, as project manager for a mixed petroleum and hazardous waste site in Georgia, we delineated the horizontal and vertical extent of chlorinated solvent and petroleum contamination in soil and groundwater. Membrane Interface Probes and Cone Penetrometer Technology combined with Direct Push Technology and on-site laboratory analysis were used to innovatively and cost-effectively characterize subsurface contaminants. For the Procter & Gamble paper manufacturing plant in Albany, Georgia, I supervised the personnel and resources to develop a Water Conservation Plan and obtain a 12.5-million gpd Groundwater Withdrawal Permit for the facility from the State of Georgia. As Project Manager for several Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments for real estate transactions, I ensured that all work was completed on time and within budget. All assessments were conducted according to ASTM Guidance Standards (E-1527 protocols) utilizing


state-of-the-art Global Positioning Satellite and Geographical Information Systems to identify environmental concerns, verify property boundaries, and evaluate sampling locations. These assessments included large industrial facilities and commercial land developments and led to more extensive environmental services contracts from several of these clients.

2005 – 2006Handex of Florida, Tallahassee, FL

Preapproval Cleanup Program Director

In this role I provided corporate-level oversight of the company’s Preapproval Cleanup Program site assessment and remediation services: a portfolio of over 450 petroleum contamination sites located throughout the state of Florida with an average annual budget of approximately $20 million. I oversaw the work products of over 25 Project Managers, ensured resource availability to meet deadlines, reviewed deliverables for quality/conformity and stakeholder communication, approved cost proposals and work order scope, tracked program budget, implemented corrective action, recruited and hired staff, conducted performance evaluations, and supported company project managers and staff in the Florida Preapproval Cleanup Program groups. Day-to-day responsibilities included budget projections, program finances, client communications, data management, and client regulatory issues. To shorten deliverable turn-around time and improve communication with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), I implemented a streamlined process to resolve intra-company program- and project -related issues that arose between company project managers and FDEP site managers.

1999 – 2005MACTEC, Inc., Tallahassee, FL

Business Development Manager

As Business Development Manager, I built, maintained and grew a portfolio of over 150 petroleum contamination cleanup sites in the state of Florida. To do so, I developed a state-wide network and database to identify and contact owners and responsible parties with sites available for Florida Preapproval Cleanup Program funding. Utilizing this system, I acquired contracts for the company to perform environmental assessment and remediation services at over 100 petroleum contamination sites valued between $250,000 and $400,000 per site. I initiated and maintained business relationships with clients, provided regulatory and technical guidance at meetings with state regulatory agencies and reviewed technical documents and cost proposals.


1995 – 1999Mactec, Inc (formerly ABB Environmental Services), Tallahassee, FL

Principal Scientist & Technical Group Leader

As Principal Scientist for the Navy C.L.E.A.N. contract, I provided guidance to company program and project managers for all technical related issues within the Underground Storage Tank Department. My responsibilities included review and certification of technical documents, planning and oversight of field programs, interpreting state petroleum and hazardous waste regulations to meet contamination assessment criteria, supporting hazardous waste remedial investigations conducted at U.S. Navy facilities in the southeastern U.S., and consulting with state and federal regulators (FDEP/USEPA), client representatives and subcontractors.

1993 – 1995ABB Environmental Services, Tallahassee, FL

Project Manager

As Project Manager for the Underground Storage Tank Department under the Navy C.L.E.A.N. contract, I monitored and administrated contract task order scope, schedule, and budget for nine projects at U.S. Navy bases in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. In this role, I served as the primary point-of-contact for all project-related technical and management activities with the U.S. Navy Engineering Command.

1991 – 1993ABB Environmental Services, Tallahassee, FL

Field Operations Leader

As Field Operations Leader for the Navy C.L.E.A.N. Underground Storage Tank Department at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, I directed daily assessment activities at seven sites on the base. I was instrumental in determining assessment strategy at each site and assigned tasks to field staff, resolved technical issues, maintained client relations, and supervised subcontractors. I also coordinated and supervised field operations at several sites on the base that required OSHA Level B personal protection equipment. Site operations demanded close coordination with base personnel to conduct contamination assessment activities within restricted areas such as runways, taxiways, and aircraft service aprons. Large-scale projects on the base included sites with contaminant plumes exceeding 125 acres in lateral extent and reaching depths of 150 feet.

1987 – 1991Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Tallahassee, FL

Senior Staff Geologist

In this position I was involved in the design, implementation, and management of groundwater monitoring programs, contamination assessments, and remedial investigations. As a Senior Staff Geologist and Project Manager, I supervised


environmental site assessments, prepared contamination assessment reports, remedial action plans, workplans, health and safety plans, cost estimates, and project proposals. Other responsibilities included health and safety planning and coordination, regulatory knowledge and compliance, project staffing, and logistical planning. My technical responsibilities included acquisition and interpretation of aquifer test data, lithological data, and hydrogeologic studies utilizing both surface and borehole geophysical methods.
