Burns & McDonnell was added to Crunchbase.

I’ve been in the natural resources management field since 1987 and have extensive experience working on energy, water, and other natural resource development projects. I specialize in complex project permitting strategy, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and State Environmental Policy Act project compliance, and river/stream permitting and restoration. As a Principal in Burns & McDonnell’s Environmental Division, my primary responsibilities involve building client relationships and managing complex projects. The markets on which I am focused are electric and gas utilities, renewable energy, and oil and gas (upstream and pipelines permitting and compliance). At Burns & McDonnell, we plan, design, permit, construct and manage projects all over the world with one mission in mind: to make our clients successful. As a 100% employee-owned firm, each professional brings an ownership mentality to our projects. That means we think like owners, working through each challenge until it’s resolved. I have experience working with environmental permitting agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, state departments of environmental quality, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Western Area Power Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and many other state and local agencies. My background in project management includes all phases: contract management, project design, permitting strategy, subcontractor coordination, on-the-ground project oversight and more. I bring strategic insight to any challenging permitting, reclamation, remediation, or design project. I’m known for my detailed approach to schedule management and project controls, and I pride myself on my ability to find consensus on complex projects through landowner outreach and public involvement.
