About Me

Hi!  My name is James.  I'm a Consulting Civil Engineer working in the Land Development and Municipal Engineering sectors in British Columbia, Canada.  I'm currently focussed on serving the Okanagan, but still maintain projects throughout the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland, and Sunshine Coast.  Part of the fun of my role is in exploring new opportunities and finding ways to grow our business.  This site will provide a glimpse into the varied aspects of my professional life.  I hope it becomes a useful marketing tool for me, as well as a resource for other professionals with similar interests.  Please feel free to contact me if I can be of service.
