Matthew plays a key role in supporting our lead service line inventory team, currently serving as the lead engineer & coordinator for a growing number of Vermont water systems. As a primary point of contact between MSK’s water system clients and our internal team, he oversees records reviews, data analysis, outreach, reporting, and preparation of water service line inventories as we continue to expand our presence in Vermont.
Outside of the lead project, he applies these skills across the organization in other areas, including developing system asset management plans and GIS mapping to support our Civil and Geotechnical teams. He is also a key contributor to multiple projects providing remediation and treatment of PFAS in water systems throughout Vermont.
A graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a BS in environmental engineering, he gained extensive experience with data management, laboratory methods, and field work as a research assistant for the Oklahoma Water Survey, where he worked on research projects in the fields of hydrology and water treatment. At the Oklahoma Water Survey, he also had some very unique experiences during Covid, in which he got to collaborate with the university’s microbiology department to aid in studying the virus’s ability to travel through our wastewater systems in order to inform potentially infected or at-risk populations before they developed symptoms. He has also worked for the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality as a staff engineer in which he worked to provide technical assistance, review permitting, and promote federal and state compliance within municipal wastewater, municipal stormwater, water reuse, biosolids, and industrial pretreatment programs for a large portion of the state.
When he isn’t working, he enjoys practicing the piano, homesteading, and playing board games with friends.
