I am an established mediator, arbitrator, leadership coach, and educator with 30+ years of success providing mediation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to major energy companies and government agencies, including the California ISO, New York ISO, State of Maryland, Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). During my career, I have led the implementation of ADR programs across the Federal Sector, oversaw hundreds of high-profile electricity, employment, and family business disputes, and served as an appointed mediator and arbitrator for the DOJ’s Special Master’s Office, September 11, 2001 Fund representing FDNY and NYPD claimants. As a trusted advisor, go-to resource, and college professor with expertise in ADR, negotiations, ethics and confidentiality, and mediation, I have delivered innovative training to federal and utility employees and taught comprehensive coursework at the National Law Center, George Washington University, and The Catholic University School of Law. Additionally, I have received numerous appointments as arbitrator and mediator panelist for the International Center for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR), the American Arbitration Association (AAA), the North American Reliability Organization, Regional Transmission and Independent System Organizations, and Maryland State Courts.
