At this month’s meeting, Project Manager Andy Rowe of Cannon will tell us all about the storm water management efforts incorporated into Paso Robles’ 21st Street “Green Street” Project. I sat down with Andy yesterday to get to know him a little better…
Andy grew up near Seattle, Washington (where he had LOTS of experience with storm water!), before relocating to SLO to attend Cal Poly. After graduating in 2004, he returned to Washington (Spokane, this time) and started working while his future wife attended law school. Together, they returned to snow-free SLO to settle down and start their family.
Andy started at Cannon in 2007, where he has worked on a variety of projects including commercial and residential development, public infrastructure, streets, and oil fields. He is a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP), an ISI Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP), and a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD). That’s 14 letters after his name – plus the PE, of course! (Way to go, Andy!) Clearly, he has excellent qualifications to lead the 21st Street Green Street Improvements, as well as his next project: Paso Robles’ 12th Street Green Street Improvements.
When he’s not working or building his credentials, Andy enjoys tennis, local hikes, and spending time with his wife and three-month old daughter. Baby Willa is demanding most of his free time these days, so we are fortunate to have this opportunity to hear from him about the innovative sustainability improvements in the Green Streets Project. See you there…
