You have more than three decades of leadership experience with transportation infrastructure, currently serving as HNTB’s quality oversight manager on America’s largest on-going infrastructure project – California’s High-Speed Rail. Can you share a general overview of the project, the construction packages and some of the milestones that have been achieved?

  4. With more than 119-miles of active construction in California’s Central Valley already underway, the project has undoubtedly faced some challenges.  What strategies have been employed to overcome these challenges and keep the project moving forward?
  5. With your extensive involvement on California’s bullet train, can you describe some of the keys to success in collaborating effectively with all the major stakeholders?
  6. Can you share any lessons learned that could benefit other professionals working on similar major infrastructure projects?
