I was employed by the City of Santa Rosa Public Works Department, as a Supervising Engineer, managing a Design/Construction group and a Surveying group for 22 years until my retirement in 2009. I also worked for Mendocino County Public Works Department for 9 years as a Design Engineer and Resident Engineer on capital improvement projects. I also worked in private consulting and for the City of San Jose Public Works Department.

My background includes the design and construction of diverse types of projects including streets, bridges, retaining walls, highways, drainage, creeks and river projects, sanitary sewer systems, water distribution systems, traffic signals and specialty projects in the public and private sectors. I have also been a resident engineer on several different construction projects.

I am interested in technology and had the pleasure of working with many talented individuals on computer software and work processes. I also studied Electronic Engineering at San Jose State University.

During the last several years of my career, I enjoyed helping individuals realize their career/professional objectives by providing training opportunities and supporting them in their promotional endeavors.
