   professional_experience:
   - Working on a report to summarize the major flooding along the East Coast of
     the United States during 2011.
   - Prepared a report, in cooperation with NYS-DOT, to document the maximum known
     stage and discharge of streams in New York.
   - Derived regression equations to estimate daily streamflow at ungaged sites in
     New York to assist in developing standards to protect aquatic habitats and natural
     ecosystems.
   - Pilot study to update low-flow statistics for several USGS gages and investigate
     the current low-flow network in New York.
   - Managed the flood hardening of USGS gages in the Delaware River basin.
   - Project chief for projects in cooperation with FEMA and NYS-DOT to document
     floods along the Neversink River and Esopus Creek, and the Mohawk, Delaware,
     and Susquehanna River basins in New York.
   - Published reports documenting the effects of, and worked as one of the crew
     chiefs on, projects to document the 2004 flood in the Upper Delaware River Basin
     of NY, and 1999 flood in southeastern New York.
   - Completed flood surveys to compute peak flood discharge by indirect methods
   - Worked on the Hudson River Salt-Front project (to model the location of the
     saltwater/freshwater junction), a hydraulic model to compute flow thru several
     large tainter gates and over a main spillway
   - Pioneered acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) use in eastern New York.
   - Managed the installation and calibration of an acoustic doppler velocity meter
     on the Hudson River.
   - "Managed the documentation of flooding from the Great Nor\u2019easter of 1992\
     \ along the New Jersey coast and published a report summarizing the results."
   - Worked on a flood warning project to provide real-time rainfall and river-level
     data in northern New Jersey to federal, state, and local officials for forecasting
     and public safety.
   - 'Worked on several projects including: water quality and groundwater data collection,
     groundwater aquifer tests, hydraulic modeling of lake outflows through automatic
     gates, and collecting low-flow surface-water data.'

   - He has a B.S. in engineering from Drexel University
