About Thomas Shay
Professional engineer with experience in civil and environmental consulting across a wide range of unique sites and applications, typically on more challenged and constrained sites. Experience with technical delivery, project management, business development, and employee enablement. Broad site/civil land development consulting experience with a specialization in sports, parks, and recreation (outdoor athletic and recreation facility) design, permitting, and construction with experience including but not limited to stormwater modeling and design, land development and environmental permitting, coastal wetland restoration, and environmental monitoring in sensitive and challenging environments. Projects often begin as conceptual/feasibility studies that successfully evolve into design, permitting, and construction. I utilize my technical experience and strategic management skills to better serve clients providing them with long term solutions to their challenges. My professional experience and education have provided me with skills to think critically and strategically allowing me to navigate everchanging regulatory requirements generating creative, high quality solutions in a cost effective manner. My discipline, calmness, empathy, humility, ability to quickly understand and connect thoughts, logical reasoning, critical nature, adaptability, motivation, and value added approach is a powerful recipe for sustained success when there is purpose. I find satisfaction in knowing that I have the ability to do my part in delivering environmentally responsible projects in a world that is facing serious environmental stresses.I have a passion for designing high performing, safe, environmentally responsible athletic facilities for athletes and communities as these facilities are a stage, an extension of the classroom, and the town square. My time spent as a board member, as an athlete, and as a youth sports coach has provided additional perspective that adds value to many real life, professional, business situations.
