When I first came to Colorado State in 1967 as a graduate student, my emphasis was on hydraulic engineering. Over the years I’ve evolved to my current focus on management issues of water resources, civil infrastructure, and pipeline systems. I’m currently involved with other faculty members on projects relating to clean water, hydrologic and ecological systems, and pipeline management. Colorado State has graduates working in leading water positions around the world, and I’m pleased to remain in touch with many of them. I also try to stay involved with business and professional groups to advance the causes of effective water and infrastructure management.
