Serving as a vice president, the environmental practice lead and the chief water
resources engineer at Hanson, Tony promotes effective water resource
solutions with a focus on water supply studies, hydraulic analyses and design for dams, levees
and flow-control structures. A trusted partner for federal, state, municipal and industrial clients
since joining Hanson in 2006, Tony has extensive experience integrating hydrologic and
hydraulic modeling with geographic information systems to deliver advanced solutions for dam
breach and flood risk mapping. Tony has also been recognized for his work on large river and
complex bridge hydraulics for state departments of transportation and railway clients.

Tony has led a variety of impactful water resource projects across the U.S. and internationally.
Notable examples include the spillway gate rehabilitation of City Water, Light and Power’s
Spaulding Dam in Springfield, Illinois; lock capacity and water-control improvements at the
Stratton Lock and Dam in McHenry County, Illinois; the CapX2020 Mississippi River
transmission line crossing from near Wabasha, Minnesota, to Alma, Wisconsin; the water-
control structure at Emiquon Preserve in Fulton County, Illinois; the new Interstate 74
Mississippi River crossing from Bettendorf, Iowa, to Moline, Illinois; the Tanana River Bridge in
Salcha, Alaska; and the McClugage Bridge over the Illinois River in Peoria, Illinois, which
included a 2D hydraulics model, one of the first of its kind for the Illinois Department of
Transportation.

Over the years, national organizations have relied on Tony’s deep knowledge as a technical
expert, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. He’s been
actively involved with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and was named the 2018
Civil Engineer of the Year Award by ASCE’s Central Illinois Section. Tony is also a member of
the Association of State Dam Safety Officials, Illinois Association for Floodplain and Stormwater
Management, Illinois GIS Association and the Society of American Military Engineers. He
serves on the board of directors for America’s Watershed Initiative, which works to find solutions
for the challenges of managing the Mississippi River and the more than 250 rivers that flow into
it.

IN TONY’S WORDS
“I’ve had great opportunities to work on amazing projects to solve all kinds of engineering challenges with some of the best people in our industry. It has been a true honor. I look forward to working on new challenges where we can apply innovative solutions to advance how civil engineers work for future generations.”
