Lance is a Project Manager with A&A’s Blacksburg office, and has worked with the firm for three years. He specializes in water and wastewater projects. Lance also has worked on surveying and inspections for waterline and land development projects, and has experience with funding applications. He worked extensively on the Allison Gap Sewer Project and the Bastian Wastewater Project, and is currently working with the Town of Bluefield on upgrades to the Town’s water system.

Lance receives great satisfaction from his work. "The work that I do improves the quality of life for people," he explains. "There are people in Virginia who still don’t have what most of us take for granted, like reliable water. It is my team’s job to help provide clean drinking water for those people."

In order to stay on top of the latest industry trends, Lance is a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers, the West Virginia Society of Professional Engineers, the Virginia Rural Water Association, and the West Virginia Rural Water Association.

Lance’s passion for his career is evident in his work ethic…and his commute. Lance travels 85 miles from Beckley, W.V. to Blacksburg, Va., to work at A&A. However, he values the environment the firm offers. "A&A provides flexibility, and a team environment that fosters professional growth and personal friendships," Lance says.

When Lance isn’t busy working, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Leigh Ann, and their 11-month-old son, Ethan. And when he’s not at work or home, the golf course is always a possibility. Lance plays golf about three times a week; and his seven handicap is evidence of his dedication to the sport!
