Over more than two decades in consulting, Dave has built a reputation for efficient, thoughtful management of complex geologic and geotechnical projects. These projects include developing and implementing exploration and monitoring programs, leading geohazard evaluation and emergency response services, and monitoring construction. Dave grounds his work in technical excellence and open communication, and he embraces evolving technologies that can lead to better long-term risk management for his clients.
Dave lays the groundwork for proactive risk management at the beginning of a project by understanding a client’s needs and then anticipating likely issues to prevent surprises. He also transforms field data into clear, actionable reports and communicates technical risk in ways that support confident, defensible decision-making. Public and private clients trust him for a pragmatic approach to a problem and his responsive support after landslides, wildfires, and other emergencies.
“Problems can happen years after a project is completed. I’m always exploring how technological innovations can give clients an improved experience, increased efficiency with the highest quality of deliverable, and better risk management tools for the future, resulting in a lasting peace of mind.”
