Company History
Water Management Solutions was founded in 2009 with the belief customers in central Virginia were interested in a temporary water management vendor that took ownership of problems and provided a high enough level of service that the customer could feel comfortable allowing such a company to simply make their water problems go away.
We are a small family endeavor and through such trusting relationships and a commitment to service has grown from a one man band to a company entrusted with temporary projects that convey tens of millions of gallons of water servicing critical infrastructure projects throughout our service area.

Going the Extra Mile Starts Here!™
For more than ten years Mark has worked in Water Resources Management, starting as a Co-op with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He developed from an entry level technician, where he collected groundwater measurements and samples, to a project and account manager.
In Bloomfield, Colorado, Mark was the Field Environmental Control Officer for the Northwest Parkway Project. He handled all aspects of the project’s environmental compliance, including field compliance with stormwater, endangered species, and watershed restoration projects, as well as hazardous material remediation and management.
Mark consistently met with regulatory and other consulting personnel to ensure the project moved forward without unnecessary delay. His experience also includes acting as Project Manager for groundwater and soil remediation projects in Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, and Florida.
In 2005, Mark moved full-time into water management as a filtration specialist. He quickly progressed into the roles of project manager and sales representative. He has hands-on experience in well point dewatering, sediment and sludge dewatering, temporary sewer bypass, creek and river bypass, temporary industrial water systems, groundwater remediation systems, as well as sediment and erosion control management.
He has made a reputation as a service provider that brings expertise and creative problem-solving to every project. Mark treats every customer’s water management problem as his problem. Even if he does not have the answer, he knows how to direct the customer toward a better solution.
When he’s not working, Mark enjoys working on farm projects, mountain biking, and hanging out with his wife and daughter at home.
