A 1981 Graduate of Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York with a AAS in Civil Engineering Technology. After graduation I took two years off from the Engineering field to pursue a career on the Professional Pro Bowlers Tour. After personal injuries and financial reasons I decided to fall back on my education and took some night courses to freshen up on my Engineering skills. I took an NYSDOT exam and started at the New York State Department of Transportation in 1983 as a Drafter producing Bridge Rehab's and Replacement plans with ink and mylar. In 1985, the Intergraph Corporation was contracted by NYSDOT to install and maintain a CADD system. The first computers were VAX based with single screen black and white monitors. Eventually Intergraph started producing dual screen color monitor computers with built-in digitizers. In 1988 I entertained an offer from an Consultant, Clough-Harbour and Associates as the Head Draftsman in the Transportation Department. I accepted and brought my knowledge and NYSDOT standards to the company. In 1989, I attended Workstation Training for Managers (Unix based) and InRoads classes in Huntsville, Alabama at the Intergraph headquarters.
I was the InRoads Transportation Division Manager for the Transportation Division at CHA in Albany, New York. My primary focus is producing DTM's for Highway Projects, Roadway Modeling, Training, Problem Solving and development of Highway Plans. I also have a vast background in survey and have used InSurvey to produce mapping and DTM's.
As of April 27, 2015, I am now located in East Hartford, CT working for CME Associates as a Civil Engineering Technician. Working on Highway and Bridge projects throughout the State using Microstation SS3 and InRoads SS2.
