School of Mines, Golden CO (Chemistry/Statistics). BS, 1974, Metropolitan State College, Denver CO
(Chemistry/Mathematics). Diploma, 1971, Denver South High School, Denver CO.

Certifications:       Certified Environmental Manager
                          OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations

Work Experience: 2003--founded Pheasant Services, a small consulting firm providing customers science support solutions
including: Literature search and background studies; design, installation, and sampling of monitoring networks; analysis and
interpretation of chemical and hydrological data; evaluation of geologic and hydrologic hazards; scientific copywriting and
editing; photography; environmental conflict mediation; and litigation support.

1997-2002--US Geological Survey, Carson City NV. Supervisory Hydrologist GS-1315-15. District Chief,
USGS-WRD-WR-NV (2001-2002) Responsible for planning, directing, and administering Federal, State, and other agency
programs of the USGS-WRD in Nevada. Responsible for technical and adminstrative supervision of all personnel assigned to
the District. Promoted and maintained cooperative relationships with state, county, and local agencies concerned with
utilization of water resources of Nevada. Conducted negotiations regarding water-resources investigations. Reviewed project
proposals to determine their technical feasibility, adequate financing, and consistency with WRD objectives. Supervised
subordinate managers in the District. Authored comprehensive interpretive scientific reports for publication or for
administrative use. Represented USGS at numerous scientific and political forums. Served a special assignment to the USGS
Regional Executive for Water latter half of 2002. Retired January 11, 2003.

Joined the USGS National Research Program as a Research Geochemist in 1978. Initial assignment was investigating the
geochemical behavior of plutonium, neptunium, americium, and curium in support of locating suitable radioactive waste
disposal facilities. Results of this research led to the realization that contaminant transport associated with colloidal material
(very fine particulates) was an important mechanism requiring additional understanding. Research on colloid characterizantion
and transport in ground water and surface water systems, including the transport of bacteria and viruses, occupied time until
1990. Recognized expert on effects of using reclaimed water for irrigation and artificial recharge. Transferred to the
USGS-WRD California District in 1990. Between 1990 and 1997, continued research on colloids and nitrogen geochemistry
while assuming greater supervisory and managerial responsibilities. Ultimately became Coastal Programs Chief, the position
occupied until joining the USGS-WRD Nevada District as its Associate District Chief in 1997.

Has proven track record of forming and guiding successful interagency, interdisciplinary teams. Is a charter member of the
interdivisional USGS Border Strategy Team that coordinates USGS activities in the US-Mexico border area. Principal US
Department of the Interior representative to the Border XXI process, dealing with water resources issues with Mexico.
Initiated a USGS-sanctioned scientific exchange program with the People's Republic of China to study the effects of using
reclaimed wastewater for irrigation. At the request of the DOI Secretary, headed a team from most DOI agencies, multiple
state and local agencies, universities, three Indian Tribes, and the National Marine Fisheries Service that developed consensus
recommendations for salmon and steelhead restoration in the Trinity/Klamath River system. Represented USGS interests in
the Lake Tahoe basin on a variety of advisory boards and committees.

Recent recipient of STAR award for work leading to salmon restoration strategy for the Trinity/Klamath River system.
Frequent recognition for outstanding work, including receiving QSI's and cash awards.

Prolific publication history. Over 50 scientific reports including USGS-series reports, journal publications, and proceedings
volumes. Frequently serves as "ghost author" for scientific and administrative reports for the USGS and Department of the
Interior.
