His industrial experience includes water and wastewater engineering, soil and groundwater remediation/restoration, process engineering and optimization, preparation and review of remediation- and water-related assessments and work plans, and review of solid waste handling and landfill design projects. He has extensive experience working at US military facilities and has worked on water- /wastewater-related projects in Venezuela, Honduras, Mexico, Central Europe, and the Republic of Korea.
