About WaterWorkforce

I have over 25 years’ experience working on a variety of municipal, city, and industrial type projects related to water and wastewater. This unique combination of responsibilities would include management, supervision, business development, project management, system operations, regulatory compliance, and training. I hold the maximum certification levels in both California and Arizona (CA -T5 & D5, AZ- T4 & D4) which is extremally beneficial for clients who need operational expertise with matching the products and services needed for their systems.

My operational experience includes chief plant operations for some of the largest distribution and treatment systems in CA (Metropolitan Water District 600 MGD, Elsinore Valley Municipal Water distribution and treatment systems, and multiple others). In these roles I have established regulatory compliance and controls, project start-up of new treatment and distribution systems, asset management controls for preventative and corrective maintenance, GIS, analytical and SCADA system monitoring controls.

In addition, I have been involved in many aspects of management. This would including managing city, municipal, and private water and wastewater systems. Overseeing budgets, CIP projects, and working with board/council members has given me in-depth knowledge of the internal controls agencies are mandated to follow. With this knowledge I can assist agencies from an internal and outside/private perspective. With regards to funding, something I am most proud of in the water industry is developing $30M+ in grant and bond initiatives for utilities. This was done through initiatives like – Safe Clean Water Program, Prop 68 & 1, and though EPA funding initiatives.

My greatest passion is teaching others in the water and wastewater industry and sharing my own journey along the way. I have been able to do this by training hundreds of certified operators in specialized courses and reviews to pass water treatment and distribution state exams. This was done by starting a school for water operators, Water Operators Association (WOA). After partnering with Chaffey College in 2016 to start a pilot program for hands-on vocational training, I realized there was a different need for operators in the industry. This has led me to develop the first hands-on vocational training apprenticeship program through our non-profit division WaterWorkforce NPO (Non-Profit Organization) – we are really looking forward to the benefits of the program for the industry!
