I love finding solutions. I really enjoy building teams for solving client’s problems through ingenuity, creativity, experience, technology, listening and leveraging future forward digital tools and services. I enjoy the challenge of creating solutions with business cases that self-fund, add value and/or create advancement. I am a transportation engineer with fantastic people skills who sees the world through the lens of technology, sustainability and innovation. Focus areas include connected automated vehicles, mass transit and multi modal transportation. My career has spanned all roles in transportation from being an Owner to a Consultant, from working on small projects to billion-dollar P3s and from being a Project Manager to a Senior Vice President responsible for 2,500 employees. I see huge opportunities in fully leveraging digital tools to create better infrastructure projects through data analytics, user friendly app-based interfaces and new revenue streams.
