Celebrating 40 Years in the Water Industry

Today is a day of celebration, gratitude, and reflection. Looking back over the past 40 years since I first stepped into the water industry, I am proud of the progress we’ve made—advancing innovations that have improved the safety, affordability, and sustainability of one of our most precious resources. I am deeply grateful for the friendships I’ve built, the experiences I’ve been fortunate to have, and the incredible colleagues I’ve had the privilege to work alongside. The journey has been shaped by those who have mentored me, those I’ve been able to support, and the many who have inspired me along the way.

Even after four decades, my passion for this industry remains as strong as ever. The work continues at Herschell Environmental and Global Water Advisors, as well as through my involvement with several professional societies. I look forward to the years ahead—continuing to contribute, collaborate, and see the impact of our collective efforts on the waters of the world.
