Education
Mr. Devin attended the University of Maine, where he earned a B.S. in Forest Engineering in 1986 and an M.S. in Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering in 1990. Mr. Devin taught a hydraulics laboratory course for two years while in graduate school. Mr. Devin has also done independent study work in Geological Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, and has completed coursework as a distance student at the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
