REPRESENTATIVE EXPERIENCE

Mr. Rogers brings to the company over 3 years experience in the field of Geographic Information Systems, land use planning, project management and environmental engineering. Mr. Rogers is currently pursuing a Masters at the University of Washington focusing on Geographic Information System technology. As a Washington State Engineer in Training, Luke brings knowledge of Engineering practices and Geographic Information Systems technology together to create custom GIS applications for land use planning, construction, facilities management and inventory analysis. The following outlines his experience in Engineering and GIS projects:

Washougal, Washington State Department of Natural Resources

Working as an undergraduate at the University of Washington, Luke was the lead GIS analyst in a team that developed a 10,000-acre harvest and transportation plan for the Washougal drainage in Southwest Washington. With over 4 GB of data to analyze and manage, Luke's detail oriented approach to data management was crucial.

Fish Passage/Habitat Restoration, Weyerhaeuser, White River, Washington

As a Forest Engineer at Weyerhaeuser Luke was responsible for managing many fish passage and habitat restoration projects that included fish ladders, log weirs, plate-arch culverts and pre-stressed concrete bridges. Working with many contractors over the short "window" in which work could be done, Luke understands the value of concise communication and accurate information.

Ahtanum, Washington State Department of Natural Resources

As a research assistant at the University of Washington Luke analyzed a 36 sq. mile area in Eastern Washington using a GIS. The research focused on finding alternatives to traditional timberland management by reducing roads, sediment delivered to streams and soil compaction while maintaining revenue and timber yield. This analysis has been praised by the DNR for its innovative GIS based approach to alternative land management.

Hoodsport, Washington State Department of Natural Resources

Mr. Rogers led a group of 7 students to create a 12,000-acre harvest and transportation plan for the North Hoodsport DNR ownership. Working closely with the Department of Natural Resources, Luke's team identified potential areas of instability, analyzed alternative harvest systems and designed 30 miles of road. To help with the analysis, Luke created many custom GIS tools to increase productivity and accuracy of results. http://courses.washington.edu/~fe450/projects/99_hoodcanal/cover/
