General experience. I have been working in ADR since my initial mediation training in 1991, and also began service as an arbitrator at that time. In addition to law, I have some basic electric engineering training and am a registered professional engineer (civil). As an engineer, I worked in construction scheduling, on site management, change orders, contract oversight, quality control, contract specifications, hydrology and materials science. I have an MS in Civil Engineering from the University of Denver.
