I serve as a hydrogeologist at the Iowa Geological Survey with primary responsibilities including groundwater modeling of both state-wide and local scale aquifers. I worked 30 years as a hydrogeologist in the consulting engineering industry assisting clients with aquifer studies, source development and well siting and regulatory permitting of production wells.  I have a BS in geology; MS in geology (hydrogeology and applied geophysics emphasis); and an MS in urban and regional planning (environmental emphasis).
