ROW Project Supervisor

Accepted a position in Oklahoma from another pipeline company doing ROW work.  Primary assignments include reviewing asset holder's data base, Line Lists and dealing with all landowner issues during maintenance and/or line modification operations.

Senior ROW Agent

Accepted a position on a FERC project as 1 of 2 Project Supervisors.  The MXP project a 160 mile pipeline based in West Virginia.  The decision to accept this project was directly tied to the instability of the oil market in 2014/2015.  After the 1st Project Manager left without notice, I successfully kept the southern end of the MXP project running smoothly until a permanent project manager could be located, moved to West Virginia and was brought up to speed on all issues.  My duties included, KMZs, LineLists, ROW Agent Assignments, AMPs, Civil Survey, Environmental Survey, Variances, Re-routes, Excel spreadsheets, budget estimation, approving payroll in variance formats, ROE Acquisition and Compressor Station Acquisition

Project Supervisor

Due to the crash in the oil market (prices went below $50.00/Barrel) I accepted an interim position with Summit based out of a Texas office.   Duties included AMPs and obtaining releases, post construction from the applicable landowners.  Project was near completion and I eventually accepted a position with Percheron as a result of floating resume in the last portion of the fourth quarter of 2014 and early first quarter of 2015.

Sr. ROW Agent

Accepted a position in my home state of Oklahoma.  Primary purpose was to create an office for Transglobal in downtown Oklahoma City.  The Project had one (1) primary customer, a drilling/oil & gas company.  Responsibilities included keeping numerous oil & gas rigs and rig lines running by doing pad leasing/design, Survey, ROW and Permitting work to stay in front of and the tie-in work behind the rigs.  Due to the drop in oil prices the primary customer slashed its drilling activity for the remainder of 2015.

Project Manager

Accepted a position as the Field Project Manager on the supply side of a FERC project.  We began with 20 title & ROW Agents and 6 lateral lines.  The number of lateral lines was in constant flux and went from 6 to 10 to 5 and ultimately settled down as 8 lateral lines (36” to 42” in diameter).  The area of impact for the supply side included Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. By the time I left for Oklahoma we had 56 Title & ROW agents, approximately 120 civil surveyors, 35 environmental surveyors, 15 cultural resources surveyors and 35 security guards.  All FERC deadlines had been met prior to returning to Oklahoma.On this project I worked with and helped design the routes of primary interest with the asset holder via weekly reports and meetings and well as a series of weekly conference calls.  The project, as started, was excel based then went to CLS’s Link/View database and ultimately went to WillView.  Note that these database programs are somewhat the same as AMPs/RMP in function.

Field Project Manager

Accepted a long term assignment as a Senior Right-of-Way Land Acquisition Agent for a $1.2 B Ethane pipeline project running from Pennsylvania to southern Texas. I was assigned to Indiana and Ohio.  Responsibilities included ROW title work and acquisition via negotiation and/or condemnation.  Included in my responsibilities are 35 year LTCs/Chains of Title, AMPS (GIS database) input, re-route evaluations, Survey Permissions and Survey Support for Civil Survey, Geotechnical, Environmental, Cultural Resources, Engineering Examinations and Land Appraisals.  Project responsibilities also included ROW access for construction.  Later I was sent to another location (for another client) as the startup FPM on a 177 mile oil pipeline.   During startup I successfully organized the office, staff, ROW field agents and title crews.  We pulled vesting deeds, tax cards and tax maps on 177 miles of centerline LOs and significant percentage of adjoining landowners.  We obtained 60% survey permission and began surveying on 177 miles of green field pipeline project all in 7 weeks.Thereafter I transferred to northern Ohio as ROW Supervisor (due to my knowledge of Ohio Law) to work on a more difficult project (refined petroleum products line) that had been previously contracted by two (2) service companies prior to Summit’s assumption of the project.  The project is a combination of 1930’s existing line rights and new easements.  The project also includes the negotiations of Consent Agreement with other major utilities.
