He has led a multidisciplinary team working to unravel the fate and transport of arsenic and selenium to protect migratory birds that use the habitat. Doug has been instrumental in advancing cross program regulatory collaboration, drawing on his knowledge of multimedia environmental regulations to ensure the protection of public health and the environment at active and inactive mining facilities. Doug continues to excel as a team leader and consensus builder, focused on practical solutions and delivering successful projects.
Doug and his wife enjoy exploring Colorado’s wide-open spaces. They hope to find a mountain retreat by a lake or creek to indulge Doug’s love of fishing and the outdoors. In the meantime, they’re exploring restaurants around Colorado to find the next great BBQ.
