  Vagabond Hydrogeologist

  After 40 years as a consulting hydrogeologist, I have deleted the timesheet database link from my computer and have sworn I will never fill out a timesheet again! It's been an awesome run this hydrogeology gig, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing, talented, and passionate folks - both at Montgomery & Associates, and in the industries and entities that we have served. Though I will always be seeing the world through the eyes of a geologist/hydrogeologist/observer of landscapes, I am currently exploring a variety of other related/unrelated opportunities. And no, not golf! See y'all down the River. Show less
