     \ who collect geographic information for FEMA Flood Mapping projects throughout\
     \ New England. He coordinates the activities of over a dozen Hydrologic Technicians\
     \ and student employees engaged in data collection using survey-grade GNSS equipment\
     \ to measure and record precise geographic and topographic data for use in mapping\
     \ of riverine flood inundation. He is also an ACA certified canoe instructor\
     \ who provides non-motorized watercraft training for USGS employees who perform\
     \ field operations via paddlecraft.Prior to directing the flow of surveying\
     \ work, Andy conducted GNSS and total station surveying campaigns throughout\
     \ New England for flood mapping, documentation of high-water marks after flood,\
     \ and for installation of the SWaTH network along the New England coastline.\
     \ Andy served as the lead for the SWaTH network installation and deployment\
     \ coordinator during tropical storms and Nor\u2019easter events impacting the\
     \ New England coastline.Andy previously worked with USGS, as a University of\
     \ Wyoming Graduate Student in the Wyoming Water Science Center, on the Yellowstone\
     \ River Basin NAWQA study, EMAP Rocky Mountain Pilot study conducted by USGS-WY-WSC,\

     \ 2001 to work with the Cape Cod Toxic Substances Hydrology team, and has been\
     \ involved with a variety of projects that involve a complex field-data collection\
     \ component."
