Professional Staff

Jim Taylor, P.G. is a geologist with over 20 years of experience in the environmental, water supply and mapping fields. Jim is a registered Professional Geologist in Pennsylvania and Delaware. As a graduate of Penn State in Geoscience and a Master of Environmental Pollution Control from Penn State Great Valley, he bleeds blue and white. When not working (and why his friends say that is not often, we don't know), he can usually be talked into some outdoor adventure.

Andy Sokol, P.G. is a geologist with over 16 years of experience with landfills, environmental characterization, PA Act 2 compliance, and innovative sample collection.  Andy is a registered Professional Geologist in Pennsylvania and Delaware, and more importantly, he is consistently the only person on field trips that is able to answer the leader's geology questions.  Andy has been busy expanding landfills, permitting water supply wells and cleaning tanker spills.  And just to show off even further, he went and successfully completed the State's first "low risk" site closure.   Andy is also an aspiring mountain bike rider who hopes to one day be able to take off his training wheels.

Mike Napolitan, P.G. has added a Masters Degree in Applied Geology from the University of Pennsylvania, to his ever expanding wealth of experience.  Mike's extensive background includes geology and hydrogeology investigations of large scale corrective action projects, advanced technologies, landfills, water supply, resource exploration, GIS, modeling, geothermal testing and geophysics (just to name a few).  Mike is lighting the consulting world on fire with his GIS mapping and relational database skills, and when he started using GIS to find favorable areas for water supply wells, geo-forensics, and managing complicated site data, we all agreed that GIS was not just a pretty map.  Not being one to leave his work at the office, Mike manages his baby pictures on a wireless, geo-synchronized, inter-relational server, and heats the baby formula with his custom made geothermal, formation conductivity testing, heat transfer unit.

Bill Gothier had enough of County work and is now polishing his consulting skills for the greater good.  With his experience at the County Soil Conservation District, Bill compliments our services with his extensive knowledge in watershed planning and restoration, stream bank stabilization, stormwater management, grant writing, and permit compliance.  Who knows, he may even persuade us all to use rain barrels. 

He's back!  Dennis Fisher is again back where he belongs.  At the landfill?  Yes, but so much more.  Dennis has years of experience in the environmental field with a multi-disciplined array of talents.  Field investigations, sampling, asbestos & mold inspections, tanks, and ESAs are just a few of his specialties.  He is currently providing technical assistance for landfill special waste acceptance. 

Fortunately for us Jim Morrison gave up his dead rock star career to focus on Hydrogeology.  Jim has geology degrees from the University of Penn and University of Arizona, along with several years of experience in water supply and hydrogeologic investigations.  His understanding of groundwater flow, aquifer characteristics, and contaminant fate & transport is like classic rock.  The Best!
