Title:
Planner
I organize the public meetings, workshops and tours
for the Michigan projects. In short…Joe gives
me the idea and I make it happen. I help in organizing
public information campaigns to ensure maximum community
participation.
I also help with
entry-level traffic engineering work for access management
studies. In every project my job is to take pictures
of everything, before joining Corradino I would never
have touched a digital camera; today I’m the one
you call when you need pictures of something. I also
assist with Social/Demographic research of affected
populations. In every project there is inventory work
that needs to be conducted and I help collect the data
and other relevant information.
Navy
service
I joined the US Navy in 1990 as a high school senior.
In retrospect, it was the best thing I did at the time.
The four years I spent in the Navy gave me the time
I needed to mature and plan out my future. I traveled
to countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa,
and the Caribbean. While in the Navy I served as a Search
and Rescue swimmer and assisted in several rescue missions
throughout the Caribbean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Other
interests:
Mountain biking…I race my bike every weekend.
This is my first year competing now I’m hooked!
Next year I plan
on competing in Ultra Endurance Mountain biking throughout
the U.S. and Canada such as 100-mile races, 8, 12, and
24 hour solo races and a Triathlon.
Community
involvement:
I designed the first Mountain bike trail in the City
of Detroit. The Mayor’s office granted me the
permission to begin construction and will be completed
on October 1st, 2005. I raised over $5,500 dollars and
recruited over 100 volunteers to help build the trail.
