With over nine years of experience in the utility locating industry across multiple states, I have developed a deep understanding of underground utility detection, safety protocols, and industry best practices. As the State Director of Nevada for ELM Utility Services, I work closely with contractors, utility providers, and field locators to enhance safety, quality, and procedural improvements in utility line locating. Passionate about continuous learning and innovation, I am dedicated to refining industry standards and fostering a culture of safety and efficiency. My experience in the field has given me firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities in utility locating, allowing me to implement strategies that improve both operational effectiveness and risk management.
