He calculates required space for <br />• MRF Design <br />tipping, processing and material storage. In addition he works with <br />• Construction Management <br />municipalities to analyze the economics of their recycling processing <br />• Material R <br />Recycling Research <br />options, including hauling and limited processing. He will also research new <br />material markets for individual facilities to pursue. Aaron works with civil <br />• Recycling Market Studies <br />engineers to design the utilities, grading and site layouts. He applies for <br />• Conceptual MRF Expansion <br />state operating licenses for new facilities. For MRF expansion projects, he <br />Plans <br />writes equipment and building specifications, manages RFPs and writes <br />• Solid Waste Processing <br />recommendations. He is also RRS's lead CAD technician group. <br />Licenses <br />For compost facilities, Aaron models facility viability, overall capacity and <br />• Compost Facility Design <br />operating expenses. He specifies new equipment to purchase. He develops <br />operating plans that manage costs, odors, equipment and labor. He <br />• Compost Facility Operating <br />designs new facilities and oversees their construction, interfacing between <br />Plans <br />contractors and municipalities. <br />• Photovoltaic System Design <br />Before working with RRS, Aaron sold, designed and installed grid -tie <br />• PV Installer <br />photovoltaic systems. He also oversaw and installed ground water and soil <br />remediation systems for contaminated gas stations, dry cleaners and other <br />• Hydrologic Modeling <br />sites. He modeled rivers, ground water, and sediment transport and <br />presented a paper at the United States Geophysical Union Conference. <br />CERTIFICATIONS <br />Aaron leads the RRS Carbon Management team, along with his duties as <br />the Project Manager for projects including those requiring Enterprise Fund <br />Compost Operator Training — <br />analysis. <br />Completed 2006 in Michigan <br />N Certified <br />Photovoltaic Installer — <br />REPRESENTATIVE PR03ECT EXPERIENCE <br />Passed 2005 in California <br />Solar Proiects Coordinator <br />Engineer In Training - <br />Oct 2004 — Oct 2005 <br />EIT /FE — Passed 2002 in <br />Sustainable Technologies — Alameda, CA <br />Colorado <br />Solar Projects <br />-Sold over $250,000 in projects <br />EDUCATION <br />- Coordinated all parts of grid -tie PV projects from 2kW — <br />13.5kW systems <br />Colorado School of Mines , <br />- Designed system based on power usage, energy prices <br />Golden, Colorado, Major: <br />and required voltages <br />Engineering with Electrical <br />Environmental Construction <br />Specialty, Minor: Public Affairs <br />- Prepared bids for projects totaling $150,000 <br />(McBride Honors Program), <br />-Chose equipment based on engineering specifications <br />G.P.A. 3.77/4.0, Graduated: Dec <br />- Participated in numerous groundwater treatment and soil <br />2002 <br />vapor extraction system installations <br />Hydrologist <br />SPECIALPR03ECT WORK <br />Nov 1999 — Oct 2005 <br />Haiti Solar Project — EWB <br />United States Geological Survey — Lakewood, CO <br />Aug 2003 — Apr 2005 <br />Computational Modeling <br />Rural School Electrification <br />- Programmed hydrologic models in C + +, FORTRAN and <br />- Designed and installed <br />other scripting languages <br />battery- backup PV system for <br />- Designed algorithm to determine depth of water from <br />school in rural Haiti <br />LiDAR (Light Distancing and Ranging) waveforms <br />- Designed structure to hold 55 <br />-Co- author on paper presenting research of flow over 2D <br />solar modules using mostly <br />and 3D dune shapes <br />locally available materials <br />- Presented results at American Geophysical Union <br />- Coordinated shipping of <br />Conference in December 2004 <br />materials and trip logistics <br />RRS www.recycle.com Resumes <br />
