I have been in the construction industry over 40 years, 20 years in high rise construction / general contracting and the last 25 years specializing in erosion control and SWPPP’s. I am currently the General Manager of the Erosion Control Division at Oakridge Landscape, where I helped diversify the company by starting an erosion control division back in 2007.

I am committed to raising awareness in both the industry and the local community about the importance of managing SWPPPs. I frequently am training in sessions on SWPPP’s using the IECA Best Practices Manual and conducting training classes to insure that my staff is current on the new regulations regarding SWPPP’s codes.

On the weekends during the winter, I am on the snow, where I am part of the ski patrol in our local mountains, keeping the skiing public safe, providing medical assistance and maintaining the natural resources of Big Bear.
