*Tell me about yourself, your schooling, career path.* I grew up in the Twin Cities (Richfield, Minnesota) and attended Illinois Institute of Technology where I received a degree in electrical engineering, specializing in power distribution. During my last semester of college, I interviewed at Donohue and started working there immediately after graduating. I’ve been here 16 years, working in a variety of different positions. Starting out, my primary responsibility was CAD drafting before quickly transitioning into electrical design assistance. I then became a lead electrical engineer while advancing into project management and eventually regional office management.
February 3rd marked the 25th anniversary of Donohue’s modest beginning back in 1997. We have grown from seven staff in one office to 120 staff in 11 offices in six Midwestern states. Donohue is now the No. 16th ranked wastewater engineering firm in the U.S. and has received over 40 engineering excellence awards.
The City of Elkhart, Indiana, officially broke ground earlier this month on new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) capacity upgrades. The upgrades, designed by Donohue & Associates, incorporate the latest technology to increase peak flow capacity from 40 million gallons per day (mgd) to a sustained flow rate of 60 mgd as required by the City’s federal Consent Decree (CD) for combined sewer overflow.
We extend our warmest wishes to you for a healthy and joyful 2022. In the spirit of giving, Donohue & Associates is grateful to be able to continue our tradition of contributing to nonprofit organizations that provide locally sustainable drinking water, sanitation, and health education programs to communities around the world through support: Water for People, Global Water Stewardship, and Wisconsin Water for the World.
