Bio

I manage POWER’s Eastern Biology Department and I specialize in project management of electric utility siting and linear infrastructure projects and the associated environmental surveys and permitting throughout the Midwest. I advise teams on Clean Water Act permitting, Ohio Power Siting Board filings, and state and local permitting. I leverage my Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS) certification and background as a wetland delineator, permitting lead, and project coordinator to move projects forward and exceed client expectations.

The Eastern Biology Department I manage is composed of biological subject matter experts, ecologists, environmental technicians, and environmental inspectors who collaborate on natural resources field assessments, permitting, and project management. The Department covers states in the Midwest, Mid Atlantic, and Northeast. Our client’s typical projects include electric transmission and distribution, renewable energy, power generation, oil and gas, facilities development or expansion, and site development.
