RELEVANT EXPERIENCE:

I have many years of business and technical experience in the field of environmental consulting. I developed my career from a technical staff person to a group supervisor, manager and officer and business owner. I have been responsible for business development, sales and marketing at my own and other firms and have successfully marketed many Fortune 500 companies. I have supervised groups of people, including both technical and financial groups.

I have managed and conducted numerous projects involving development and implementation of programs and policies related to OSHA, RCRA and CERCLA/SARA. I have many years of permitting experience and have managed remedial investigations and feasibility studies, including selection of remedial technology and preparation of design specifications for the chosen technology. I have consulted with many types of manufacturing facilities in numerous business sectors. I developed training programs for health/safety and environmental compliance, addressing topics related to DOT, EPA and OSHA regulations.

I was a regional coordinator for the EPA's Technical Assistance Panels program for Region VII (Kansas City). As a coordinator, I managed 31 work assignments, many of them overlapping, involving tasks such as evaluation of resource recovery alternatives to landfilling, landfill selection or expansion, use of refuse-derived fuel in utility boilers, and recovery of metals from electric arc dust. I organized and conducted a technology transfer series on land disposal for EPA's Center for Environmental Research Information.

In the non-profit sector, I was founder and president of the Smart Growth Coalition for four years. I wrote and submitted proposals to the Greater Cincinnati Foundation and won two 6-figure grants for the new organization. With that grant money, I held a series of town meetings throughout the greater Cincinnati region to educate citizens about smart growth alternatives to urban sprawl.
