ABOUT ME
As I approached the milestone of working 20 years in the civil engineering field, I decided to start my own business. As owner, I can focus on what I enjoy - helping municipalities foster responsible development.
Prior to this venture, my professional career including working 11 years as an engineer with the Town of Windsor, CT as well as working in the consultant field with a highly reputable multi-disciplinary engineering firm. My experiences in both the public and private sectors enable me to identify differing project perspectives and goals, to facilitate collaborative discussions, and to achieve a unified path to success.
​
Over the course of my career I have designed, permitted, and provided construction administration for numerous infrastructure projects. I also assisted the Town of Windsor in securing over $19 million in state and federal grants for capital improvement projects; reviewed more than 350 applications for new and redevelopment projects with respect to zoning requirements and stormwater quality impacts (including construction site runoff control and post-construction stormwater management); and assisted in drafting and managing the Town of Windsor's Floodplain Management Ordinance, Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance, Stormwater Management Ordinance, and Illicit Discharges and Connections Ordinance.
