Position with Company Engineer
Email Address: huffnj@gmail.com
Experience or I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the
education which University of Iowa and a master's degree in project
qualifies you for this management from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. I am
board or commission: a veteran of the United States Army with a deployment to
Afghanistan from August 2010 to August 2011 as a route
clearance combat engineer. My professional experience as a
project manager has allowed me to put my education into
practice to help my companies save millions of dollars through
process improvements and capital project investments. I have
developed an exceptional strength at bringing appropriate
stakeholders together to build a plan and make a positive
change. Practicing engineering has also honed my ability to
systematically analyze large sets of data and find connections
among the chaos. I am skilled at performing economic and
operational analysis to create different contingencies and
i
scenarios that model how all parts of a system are influenced
when one part is changed.
What contributions can I had the pleasure of meeting Cori Burbach when she
you make or state presented information on the Sustainable Dubuque initiative
reason for applying? when I was participating in the City Life program. She talked
about the formation of the Resilient Community Advisory
Commission. I was immediately interested in applying for a
seat on the commission because the goals of the commission
i
are aligned with my professional and educational background,
and I have been actively seeking an outlet to serve this great
community in a way that can maximize the utilization of my
skills. As a project manager, I work to identify the stakeholders
from all of the impacted groups involved in a change. My task is
to appropriately manage their input and provide an environment
of open communication to reach a win-win outcome for the
given project. One of the major focus areas of project
management is risk management. A goal of the commission is
to address vulnerabilities of the city. Risk management requires
a collaborative effort to identify as many risks as possible that
impact a project. Risks can include both threats and
opportunities. I have experienced great success at building
plans to take full advantage of opportunities and minimize the
effect of the threats. I have a calling to help people and serve. I
have been out of the Army for several years, and since that
time I have been searching for a venue to volunteer my time
and skills to a good cause. I love our city. I grew up here, and I
want to make our city a better place for my family and all of
Dubuque's residents. When I learned of this new commission I
file:///C:/Users/tgleason/AppData/...
was ecstatic because I know that this is the ideal opportunity to
put my skills to use and fulfill my call to service. I can help
Dubuque be better prepared to handle risks and opportunities. I
can work to align the different boards and commissions, city
council, and citizens to develop a plan to handle the unknowns
and lead to improved economic prosperity, cultural vibrancy,
and environmental integrity.

Experience or I am a professional engineer with a civil engineering degree
education which and over 10 years consulting experience in the field: roads,
qualifies you for this traffic, subdivisions, zoning, commercial developments,
board or commission: watersheds, waterway engineering, emergency action
planning, environmental regulations and permitting, parks and
historic preservation, navigating compliance requirements at
local-state-federal levels, geographic information systems and
technical report writing. Over the last 2 years I have worked in
the energy efficiency field with non-profits and grants. I also
volunteer with local Dubuque non-profits and community
groups with missions to support resiliency in children and the
environment. Diversity and cultural vibrancy are important to
me because they enrich our lives and make us better citizens. I
support and enjoy the arts, local and regional cultural heritage,
and life-long learning.

you make or state development of the Resilient Community Advisory Commission
reason for applying? and it has always interested me. I didn't seriously consider
applying until Cori Burbach made a special request to members
of other commissions. I have enjoyed my work and experience
on the Transit Advisory Board and would love to also join a
commission such as the RCAC with a broader community
scope. I enjoy and excel at thinking systematically and
analyzing data. Data analytics has interested me since I
learned about the field a couple of years ago. I recently
attended a presentation on data analytics where the speaker
emphasized the importance of asking the right questions. I am
applying for the RCAC because I like working collaboratively
with others to figure out the right questions-this is critical to
supporting work that positively impacts my community. Working
on the Transit Advisory Board has already been rewarding in
that regard, in part due to Candace Eudaley's talented
leadership and dedication, but having vision, direction and
support is critical -the important contribution of boards and
commissions.
