Bret Budd

After graduating from the School of Mines with a Civil Engineering degree in December 1982 I spent a semester working on my master's degree in the spring of 1983. I finally went back and finished the degree in 2007 (only took 24 years).

I worked for WyDOT and various consulting firms before I landed a job with the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1986 and have been with them ever since. I'm currently a program manager handling O&M projects at the Air Force and Army bases in Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming and Colorado as well as being the Corps water resources technical manager for water resource projects in Afghanistan.

Looking back, I was way too shy in school.
