Bio
Courtney Ross
It was my pleasure to work with Ed (the first time) on an extremely large SWD in the Barnett Shale. He was hired to provide the necessary permitting, regulatory and environmental expertise for our customer. Before the projected start date; the company we were working for had a large environmental spill. Without missing a beat; he provided much needed insight into the reporting, clean up and requirements for the spill. His quick actions saved the client both time and money. I have found him to demonstrate "an above the crowd" knowledge set in the arena's of engineering, environmental and regulatory. The depth of knowledge in his field shows through in the many diverse projects that he has undertaken. His diligent approach to processes and analysis are seen in the quality of his work. He is an "out of the box" thinker that I enjoy working with!
Ken Chandler
Ed and I first worked together on an F-22 subsystem project where he served as corporate Program Director and I was the government's project manager. His ability to recruit and develop a team to support the project was first rate. Ed's delivery of all project artifacts from formal reports to invoices was spot on. Great manager and outstanding technical skills!
