DFI’s membership elected two new members to the DFI board of trustees, re-elected four trustees and voted for a new roster of officers including a new president.

DFI Trustee Daniel R. MacLean, PE, is the business development manager at Keller Foundations in Canada. MacLean has more than 17 years of deep foundations experience, primarily focused around micropiles and anchors. He has been a member of DFI for almost 15 years and served as co-chair of the DFI-ADSC Micropile Committee. He is active in the International Association of Foundation Drilling (ADSC), and served as research chair and national board member from 2012 to 2017. He is also the chair of the International Society for Micropiles (ISM).

DFI Trustee Morgan NeSmith, PE, is the director of engineering at Berkel and Company Contractors. NeSmith has over 20 years of experience in geotechnical contracting and consulting including numerous site characterization and construction projects for remote and offshore facilities in the Middle East, Western Africa and Asia. Since 2004, he has specialized in the design and installation of cast-in-place piles and ground improvement systems. He is the past chair of the DFI Augered Cast-in-Place Committee, and received a 2017 DFI President’s Award in recognition of his efforts and service to advance the work of DFI.

Four trustees were re-elected to serve another term:  Conrad Felice, Ph.D., PE, D. GE., C. W. Felice; Anne Lemnitzer, Ph.D., PE, University of California Irvine; J. Erik Loehr, Ph.D., PE, University of Missouri; and Martin G. Taube PE, P.G., Menard USA.

Wysockey, Ph.D., PE, Thatcher Engineering Corporation, has moved from treasurer to vice president; Gianfranco Di Cicco, GD Consulting, moved from secretary to treasurer; and James O. Johnson, Condon-Johnson & Associates, moved from trustee to serve as secretary. Dan A. Brown, Ph.D., PE, D.GE, of Dan Brown and Associates, is now the immediate past president.

New DFI President Matthew Janes, M.B.A., P.Eng., is a senior engineer with Isherwood Associates in Toronto, Ontario, where his activities include senior technical design, strategy, financial analysis and risk management.
