Education
I obtained my BS and MS degrees in Civil Engineering from West Virginia University in 1984 and 1986, respectively. I completed my Ph. D. in 1996 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (a.k.a. Virginia Tech). My major emphasis in graduate school was geotechnical engineering, and my Ph.D. Dissertation focused on contaminant transport modeling.
Consulting Experience
Prior to joining the faculty at TSU, I worked several years as a

Virginia. I also served as Geotechnical Manager at
Engineering Consulting Services in
Charlotte, NC. I am currently a Senior
