Civil Engineer I

I am a civil engineer with over 17 years of professional experience in public and private sectors.  I currently serve as Assistant Director of Public Works for the City of Little Rock, where I have the pleasure of working with a team of dedicated and service-oriented employees.  Prior to joining LRPW, I worked at McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. (MCE) for over 15 years where I worked alongside amazing professionals serving various clients in the state of Arkansas.

I am passionate about my work and I am committed to improving our transportation infrastructure by primarily focusing on safety.  My lifelong goal has been to help make this world a safer place, and my profession has given me a wonderful opportunity to work towards achieving it.  As a graduate engineer, my main areas of focus were roadway design, pavement design, intersection design (Roundabouts and Signals), drainage design, construction management and land development work.  Roundabouts, in particular, have been a driving force in improving traffic safety around the state.  I've had the opportunity to work on several Roundabouts in the Central Arkansas region, including the first two-lane Roundabout on a highway system.

I believe that there is no better way of giving back to my profession than mentoring young engineers and being involved with professional organizations that promote civil engineering.  I am passionate about teaching and mentoring.  At MCE, I mentored several interns and graduate engineers. My involvement with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has helped me collaborate with my peers and industry experts in spreading engineering knowledge around the state.  I currently serve as the Region 4 Governor for Arkansas and was the President for the Arkansas Chapter of ASCE from 2019 to 2020.  I was also actively involved in the American Council for Engineering Companies (ACEC), AR Chapter, where I had the pleasure of serving  as the chair of the ACEC/ARDOT Liaison Committee, transportation liaison for the Government Affairs Committee, and as a member of the Emerging Leaders Advisory Council.  Last but not least, I serve on the Junction Bridge Facilities Maintenance Board for Pulaski County.
