Synopsis of Professional Experience

I am an environmental consultant in Florence, Alabama, and equity partner in A Company. serving as Vice President in charge of day to day operations and environmental project management for wide-ranging due diligence and environmental permitting projects for clients throughout the United States and Central America.  During the past 13 years with A Company, I have completed over 500 environmental site assessments on residential, commercial and timberland properties for individuals, banks, municipalities, real estate investment trusts, timber investment management organizations as well as private industry and forest resource companies among others.
