Director Nevins has a PhD in Geological Sciences, a Master of Science in Electronic Engineering and serves as the Executive Director of IT at Santa Barbara City College. His greatest strength is being a quick study and he has a lot of experience working with people and budgets, and is detail-oriented. Director Nevins has a strong interest in infrastructure and understands that our work in water resource recovery helps make civilization possible!
