Doug specializes in municipal planning, design, and project management. His early career was spent with an underground utility contractor, so he is an expert at identifying solutions for potential construction challenges, design deficiencies, high-risk conditions, and difficult administrative disputes. Serving as a District Engineer for the NE Sammamish Sewer and Water District, he has successfully designed and/or managed many of the more demanding projects constructed. At the same time, for more than two decades, Doug worked within Issaquah City Hall, implementing two Master Planned Communities as well as other city-wide projects. In this role, he was responsible for making sure that development met Issaquah standards, goals, and values. Through his efforts, Doug was recognized by the Issaquah Public Works Engineering Department for Award of Appreciation – the only time that this has been given to a consultant.

For over a decade Doug has served the Pacific Northwest Section of the American Water Works Association as the Chair of the Distribution Committee, the Subsection Advisory Council, the Membership Engagement and Development Committee, President of the King County Subsection, and Section Trustee. Promoting the essential need for safe, clean drinking water, he has worked to disseminate relevant technical education for the design and operation of potable water systems.

Doug is currently helping to grow and create a new opportunity for RH2 staff to serve surrounding communities out of the Bellevue/Factoria office.
