A fun fact or something we wouldn’t know about you: I don’t like to do construction work but when I am forced to do it, I will. People who know me tell me it looks like it’s done by a professional.
How long have you been part of the organization? 10 years.
What is your favorite part of the organization? I met several water and wastewater knowledgeable professionals.
What made you choose the water world? It's one of life's essential resources which is not really appreciated and taken for granted. I want to put my time here in our world to support preserving it.
What would you say to someone who was interested in getting more involved or volunteering in CWEA? It’s a career advantage to join CWEA. Great organization to meet professionals in the water and wastewater world.
