I’m a registered professional civil engineer and serves as Director of Huma Environmental (previously known as Probiotic Solutions), a division of bioremediation products and services offered by Huma. I have over 20 years of experience in project management, environmental programs, and municipal and industrial facility system analysis. I also have a fair share of experience in design for both municipal water and wastewater systems. At Huma, I’m responsible for managing sales and the research and development efforts of Huma Environmental wastewater treatment products and services. I’m a published author in industry journals, a frequent conference speaker, and the host of the Water Break podcast. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from Brigham Young University.
