"Behind the Curve - Project Risk in Areas Without VI Regulations."
Dr. Kenneth Tramm
Entrepreneurial spirit, a commitment to environmental responsibility, and an inherent desire to serve both clients and employees were all the motivation needed for Dr. Tramm to open Modern Geosciences in early 2011. As the company’s visionary, Kenneth leads a team of environmental experts in setting strategic direction and developing long term client relationships. Striving to be in the forefront of environmental innovation and continually delivering service value, he works closely with commercial, retail, industrial, and public-sector clients to develop comprehensive, fact-based solutions for their unique environmental challenges.
Highly-regarded by environmental industry peers and clients alike, Kenneth is known for his unique ability to be thorough, yet concise in organization and delivery of information and overall strategy. He has been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency for developing “innovative techniques” that sift through volumes of environmental data to glean relevant, usable information as well as the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for addressing brownfield redevelopment issues across Texas.
Kenneth credits the company’s continued growth to the Modern Geosciences team − a family of environmental professionals committed to building customer loyalty and delivering truly innovative environmental solutions for clients.
