Background
When Mr. Koth graduated from Virginia Tech in 1989, he became immersed
in Land Development. Throughout his career, Mr. Koth has engaged in a
wide variety of land development projects and undertakings. He has
contributed to the success of projects including subdivisions,
commercial site plans, new public and private schools, road design
projects, master planning for communities and campus facilities,
funding and proforma analysis, and rezoning cases. Mr. Koth’s
experience spans the state of Virginia and into North Carolina. While
he calls Powhatan his home, his experience is widespread.
Experience
Mr. Koth’s ability to assist in the success of ambitious projects
has led him to undertake projects that require unconventional
approaches and solutions. By managing such projects, Mr. Koth has honed
his ability to think outside the box and manage difficult situations
with innovative approaches.
The Hanover Regional Stormwater Management Program included the
preliminary design and ineractivity analysis of approximately 140 water
quality facilities. By managing the design, production and presentation
of the program, Mr. Koth created an organized system for executing the
program.
The Virginia Senate Report that Mr. Koth prepared for the Department of
Game and Inland Fisheries is an example of the variety of expertise Mr.
Koth has amassed throughout his career. This report was distributed to
the Virginia Senate and formed the basis for the recent Removal of
Embrey Dam in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
By managing the design and construction of the Bosher Dam Fish Passage
Mr. Koth helped the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries
and the City of Richmond work together to complete the passage that has
become a hallmark success story for the Chesapeake Bay Fishery. Mr.
Koth has been published in a technical publication that described the
project as a remarkable success story of supporting the return of a
crucial part of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.
From the Department of Game and Fisheries Website…
March 1, 1999 —a great day in Virginia history! On
that day, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries opened the
fishway at Bosher's Dam on the James River for its inaugural spawning
run, providing fish with access to 137 miles of the James River and 168
miles of its tributaries. Not since 1823 could migrating fish,
such as American shad, swim past the dam!
The Mission
In 2005, Mr. Koth embarked on a mission to improve the consulting
industry. Since then, his emphasis has been on serving his clients and
team members to the best of his ability. He has broadened this mission
to help other consultants improve their services and try to raise
the quality of consulting services throughout the industry.
