Mark is a licensed Professional Engineer with extensive experience in municipal engineering, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and the automation of water resources workflows. His career bridges traditional civil engineering practice with modern data-driven analysis, enabling him to deliver technically sound and innovative solutions to complex challenges.
As City Engineer for Herriman City, Mark oversaw culinary water, secondary water, stormwater, and roadway projects from design through construction. His work included designing three miles of water line along 5600 West, evaluating and designing stormwater detention basins and conveyance channels, and performing a two-dimensional dam break analysis for Blackridge Reservoir. He also developed project budgets, updated municipal standards, and regularly presented to the City Council and Planning Commission.
Mark specializes in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, with deep expertise in tools such as HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, SWMM, WMS, EPANET, WaterCAD, GMS, and MODFLOW. His experience spans probable maximum flood analyses, spillway design, urban storm drain systems, and groundwater modeling. At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, he applied two-dimensional watershed modeling tools for hurricane scenarios and conducted EPANET-based resiliency and criticality analyses of water distribution systems.
In addition to his professional work, Mark served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Utah, where he developed and taught a graduate-level course in watershed modeling covering WMS, HEC-HMS, and SWMM. With a combination of municipal leadership, advanced technical expertise, and teaching experience, Mark brings a well-rounded and practical approach to solving complex water resources problems.
