At the end of each day, I get to lay my head down knowing that I made a small contribution in shaping the future of water resources for my community and future generations—including my own children and grandchildren.
What are your challenges?
Utah is experiencing the highest population growth among the United States. This has led to an unusually high demand for new and improved infrastructure to adequately support the growing residential and commercial markets. The challenge is keeping up with the demands that our clients are facing and knowing how to best assist them during this time.
How long have you been an SMPS member?
19 years.
What led you to serve on the Board?
Linda, Linda, Linda…when she asks for help, I respond. Honestly, I stepped in to help when the previous treasurer relocated to another state.
How has SMPS membership helped you?
The life-long professional friendships I have established through SMPS have been immeasurable. The education committee provides valuable forums on timely topics, and the resource center and SMPS store are truly helpful. Organized study groups for my CPSM exam were appreciated too!
What’s the best career advice you’ve received?
To be myself in all situations. I love the Zen Buddhism adage, “how you do one thing is how you do everything.”
What’s the best career advice you’ve given?
Be thoughtful in whatever you are doing and take the time necessary to do it right.
What’s one of your favorite business books?
"Take Command" by Jake Wood.

What’s on your bucket list?
It’s a big list! It includes visiting notable national and state parks. Of course, I started with those in Utah and nearby states. I’ve checked off Arches, Bryce, Zion, Joshua Tree and Niagara Falls. I am headed to Yellowstone in the Spring 2023. Vacations to Saint Barthélemy Island, Saint Martin, Chichén Itzá, Palenque, and the Greek Isles are also on my bucket list. I hope to get to these soon!
