Brad worked for more than a year with the Humboldt County APCD after graduating in 1981. He was then one of many in a long string of ERE grads who went to Utah State University in 1982. The timing couldn't have been better for a future morphodynamic modeler, as debris flows, avulsing floods on alluvial fans, and an ever-rising Great Salt Lake gave great topics for interesting MS thesis topics. He then started a 13-year Federal hydraulic engineering career with the US Army Corps of Engineers; first with the Seattle District, then with the Math Modeling Branch of the Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, MS. Our time in the deep south was broken up with a 1-year research sabbatical at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory (U of Minnesota), researching sedimentation engineering processes. Brad then left Federal service and became a principal hydraulic engineer with the Sacramento office of Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC). He led interesting and challenging projects on tidal marsh and fluvial restoration design, river engineering design, sedimentation engineering expert witness testimony for the California DWR, and morphodynamic modeling of waterways and floodplains. Project locations were mostly in the western USA, but also included the Rio Paraguay, Rio de la Plata, and Rio Madeira in South America; the Brahmaputra River in Bangladesh; and the Matanuska River in Alaska. Fun stuff! He's now 95% retired and has emeritus status with NHC and is living with his HSU spouse of 40+ years at the family homestead in Glen Ellen.
