PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Aug 2015 – Present:

President of Geo SubSea LLC; geoscience consulting for the offshore industry and marine engineering projects worldwide, includes client representation and technical support, field work, data processing and interpretation, and development of technical documents and products. Extensive experience of coordination with project team and government agencies.

Aug 1989 – July 2015: Senior Geophysical / Oceanographic Project Manager for Ocean

Surveys, Inc., Old Saybrook, Connecticut; responsible for the organization and management of geophysical and oceanographic surveys; included extensive client interaction and field work, technical report writing, and presentations as well as job costing and proposal writing.

May – Sept 1988:

Marine Geological Technician for Alpine Ocean Seismic Survey in Norwood, NJ; (summer grad school position) conducted geophysical surveys utilizing high resolution seismics and geotechnical work using Alpine vibracorers and grab samplers; also operated a sediment profile camera and various oceanographic equipment.

SELECT PROJECTS:

Vineyard Wind (south of Cape Cod); client representation and subject matter expert (geophysics) for the developer of a proposed offshore wind farm (2016 to present). Field program manager for overwater activities.

Deepwater Wind (offshore RI); involved in many phases of this offshore wind project (2009-2014), south of Block Island, the first to be built in the U.S. Data acquisition, processing, and delivery of scientific results in support of design engineering and regulatory agency requirements for permitting.

Cape Wind Energy (Nantucket Sound); participated in this offshore wind project since its inception in 2001. Involved in most phases of numerous survey programs including planning, meetings, performance, and product development both in support of initial feasibility, design engineering for construction, and for environmental permitting to meet all federal and state requirements.

Port Development Projects (Bermuda, Belize, more); interdisciplinary studies in

support of new marine terminals with associated turning basins and navigation channel deepening, as well as shoreline protection and pier structures.

AquaVentus Wind (Gulf of Maine); proposed offshore wind project near Monhegan

Island, Maine featuring the first floating turbine design in deep water off the U.S.

LNG Terminal Projects (offshore Boston, New York, Bahamas); multi-disciplinary investigations supporting natural gas pipelines and LNG terminals. Supervision of all field programs and product development for clients, involving bathymetric, geophysical, geotechnical, and oceanographic data collection and processing.

Fisherman’s Energy (offshore New Jersey); proposed offshore wind project in the

Atlantic Ocean. Detailed investigation for meteorological buoy placement and reconnaissance of the potential turbine grid area.

Linear Transmission Projects (U.S. and worldwide); numerous cable and pipeline route

studies in a wide variety of geologic environments supporting all phases of the projects. For feasibility and final design, focus is often utilization of geophysical and geotechnical methods to map shallow geohazards.

Familiar with the following investigations.… Geophysics; side scan sonar, subbottom profiling,

refraction, magnetics, GPR

Bathymetry; single and multibeam sonars, vessel and AUV mounted

Oceanography; ADCPs, tide and wave gauges, water profiling and sampling, ROVs

Geotechnical; grab sampling, gravity, piston and vibracoring, jet probing, drilling/boring

Biological; sediment profile imaging, benthic sampling, protected species programs

.…Supporting studies such as: Surficial and subsurface geologic mapping

Submarine topography/geomorphology mapping

Marine archaeology

Benthic habitat mapping

Existing submarine utilities mapping

Environmental monitoring

Coastal sediment dynamics

Water circulation, flow modeling, and more

PERSONAL STRENGTHS: Education combined with diverse and extensive marine experience brings significant knowledge to

support projects from conception to operation to decommissioning. Strong management skills to handle complex, interdisciplinary projects with a multitude of components, companies, and people. Ability to successfully manage both financial and scientific objectives without compromising standards, including attention to detail and personal approach with all involved. Excellent verbal and written communication skills to translate scientific information to the end user, and coordinate results to/from all project team members. Intense project loyalty and determination to meet deadlines and expectations.
