Assistant Resident Engineer
Summit Design and Engineering Services
Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, United States
After graduating from North Carolina State University’s Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department in 1990, Donald began a 30-year career with the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Roadside Environmental Unit that ended with his retirement in May of 2021. Too young to stop working, Donald started a second career with Summit Design and Engineering Services in late June 2021. Donald’s responsibilities with NCDOT’s Roadside Environmental Unit included environmental oversite of numerous infrastructure projects within the Piedmont area of the State to ensure compliance with the North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act, State and Federal Water Quality requirements, and NPDES permit expectations. Donald obtained his Certification as an Engineering Intern in 1999 and his Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control Certification (CPESC) in 2004. He currently has his Remote Pilot Certificate for operating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones) and utilizes that skill to assist in a variety of operations on Highway Construction Sites within North Carolina.
His new career, with Summit Design and Engineering, allows him to perform similar functions to those he did with NCDOT, as well as spend time as an educational resource for Construction Inspectors on projects that Summit Design and Engineering has an inspection presence on. Donald is a teacher for the Level 1 and 2 Erosion and Sediment/Stormwater Control Certification Classes geared toward individuals planning to work on NCDOT projects. Donald is also currently serving a three year term on the NC Sedimentation Commission’s Technical Advisory Committee which offers support and guidance for the State’s Land Resources group staffed under the NC Department of Environmental Quality. He is a native of Raleigh, NC and currently resides in Fuquay Varina with his wife Robin. They are proud parents of two adult children Megan (27) and Riley (24).
