Drake joined us in 2022 after a wonderful twenty years spent serving as a public works maintenance and operations divisions manager. He has extensive public infrastructure experience including streets, storm drain facilities, and utilities. He also holds numerous certifications including Drinking Water Distribution Operator Grade 3 and Wastewater Collection System Maintenance Grade 4. As an Associate, he collaborates with Principal Engineer Steven Yee to provide construction management and inspection services for public agencies and special districts. 

The completion of certificated courses through Sacramento State, Utah State, and most recently Maryland University, has provided an opportunity to formalize Drake’s experience in the areas of water distribution, leadership/management, and construction management. Drake is proud of these achievements and consistently exercises the knowledge gained through these programs in his projects.

Drake is an adventurer at heart. Away from work, you will find him spending time working in the yard, wood working with his dad, golfing with friends, biking and hiking the foothills of Mount Shasta, fishing in the Upper Sacramento River, or boating with his family. Drake is most comfortable outdoors , finding joy in the company of his wife, Lori, their daughter, Jordan, and three dogs, Wilson, Ella, and Woody. Experience with positive results is a driving force behind his personal and professional achievements.
