BACKGROUND During my career so far, I have: • provided consulting engineering services as engineering manager,
• U.S. and Canadian experience dates from 1997 • Wide-ranging geotechnical, materials, project, leadership, and other experience • Recently opened a new engineering company to serve Albertans I graduated from Lamar University in Texas and started my career in Houston as a geotechnical and materials junior engineer in 1997. I worked for a major company in the United States, called Professional Service Industries (PSI). I had very good mentorship and learned quickly about materials testing and engineering, and geotechnical engineering. I was promoted to the project manager position before moving to Canada. I moved to Fort McMurray in 2005, stayed there until 2012, and started working in Edmonton in 2013. I have 20 years of geotechnical design, materials engineering, and project experience, including project management, bid preparation, and foundation analysis and design. My experience also includes concrete mix design analysis, reinforcing steel inspection, lime stabilization, construction monitoring, compaction, and municipal project management from design concept to final acceptance certificate inspection. I have significant experience with high-rise construction monitoring and testing and project management of large oil sands projects in Fort McMurray. Clients have included the City of Edmonton, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Suncor, Syncrude, CNRL, OPTI, Nexen, and Shell. My career highlights include numerous positions and roles of leadership and engineering in major international consulting companies. I always wanted, however, to open an engineering company. I finally got the opportunity in 2016, and I am really enjoying building my business and serving Alberta.
