After earning a degree in Watershed Geology from Humboldt State University in 1984, John became a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC #311) in 1986.
As a licensed CA Contractor since 1988, John has experience designing and building projects. He is currently “on call” for design and planning with 3 Districts within Caltrans.

He served on the Caltrans Stormwater Taskforce from 1996 to 2006 where he helped develop Highway Department BMPs, protocol, and BMP Training, which was implemented statewide for over 8 years. The hands-on workshop on Thursday is based on this work.
