Meet The Staff: Kevin Grove, Sacramento Environmental Group Manager

Kevin’s journey is rooted in his upbringing in Gilroy, California, famously known as the “Garlic Capital of the World. With a degree in Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning from UC Davis, where he also excelled on the NCAA baseball team, Kevin has brought his passion and expertise to BSK for over a decade as the Sacramento Environmental Group Manager.

Kevin Grove, Sacramento Environmental Group Manager

Interviewer: Hi Kevin! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?

Kevin: I was born and raised in Gilroy, California. (Garlic Capital of the World!) I attended UC Davis and received a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning and minored in Managerial Economics. I also played on the NCAA baseball team while I attended UC Davis.

Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?

Kevin: This is my 12th year with BSK, and I am the Sacramento Environmental Group Manager.

Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?

Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?

Kevin: I do the bulk of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) for BSK. One of the Phase I ESAs from 2018 was a vacant lot in Sacramento. This vacant lot eventually turned into a rehabilitation hospital that housed both my grandmother and my father when they were recovering from major surgeries. When I went to visit them, I was blown away that the work we completed turned into something that was finally tangible.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?

Kevin: I am a father of 2 wonderful boys, Fortunato (Forty) and Brooks. Forty is 2 and Brooks is 5 months.

Meet The Staff: Neva Popenoe, Fresno Branch Manager.

Meet Neva, a dedicated leader at BSK Associates, who brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for community-driven projects. After earning her civil engineering degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, she moved to Fresno, where she’s now the Fresno Branch Manager, Geotechnical Group Manager, and Engineering Manager. Since joining BSK in 2017, Neva has thrived in leading teams and tackling complex challenges.

Interviewer: Hi Neva! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?

Neva: I like to say I grew up in Spokane, WA, that’s where I lived until I graduated from high school. But my family moved there when I was 8 years old from a small town in southeast British Columbia, Canada, which was only 3 hours from Spokane.

I went to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, to study civil engineering, then moved to Fresno after graduating and getting married.

Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?

Neva: I’ve been working for BSK since 2017. I serve as the Fresno Branch Manager. I am also the Fresno Geotechnical Group Manager and serve as the Fresno Engineering Manager, overseeing our Laboratory and Inspections for our DSA and HCAI work.

Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?

Neva: My favorite part of my job is working through challenges to deliver successful projects or programs. I love getting to work on teams, both within BSK and with our many teaming partners, where we bring our diverse skills and perspectives to come up with the best solutions. I am proud to work on projects that make our community stronger and increase the quality of life for Central Valley residents.

Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?

Neva: My favorite stories are the ones where we all work together to solve a complex challenge. The most recent example is when we had a job-site kick-off meeting for a slope remediation project in the foothills. Alongside the Contractor, Owner, and design team, we were able to discuss the issues at hand and work together to build the right solution for this particular project site. Not only was it a beautiful day in the Sierra Nevadas, but it was also beautiful how we each brought our skills to figure out how to provide a safe road to support a low-income housing community.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?

Neva: When I’m not at work, I’m trying to stay connected to my neighbors and my community here in the Lowell neighborhood of Fresno. We’re gearing up for our annual Halloween event where we serve hot dogs and hot chocolate and have games and crafts for kids in my front yard. I’ve been enjoying spending time with my neighbors on our local kick-ball team – struggling to not drop the ball and practice my Spanish-speaking skills. It’s been a joy to raise my 2 kids here in this beautiful community!

Meet The Staff: Danny Palmer, Construction Services Division Manager

Meet the Staff: Danny Palmer, Construction Services Division Manager
Danny joined BSK Associates 17 years ago as a special inspector while studying at Fresno State. Now, as our Fresno Construction Services Division Manager, Danny uses his wealth of experience to lead construction projects and ensure the safety of our community. His dedication and problem-solving skills have been a cornerstone of his career at BSK.

Interviewer: Hi Danny! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?

Danny: I was born in San Diego and moved around a little because my dad was in the Navy. After my dad got out of the military, we moved to Oakhurst, CA. That is where I consider my hometown. I was homeschooled from 2nd grade through graduating high school (Mountain Home School and Glacier High School), with the sole exception of my freshman year, which I attended Yosemite High School. I graduated valedictorian, ASB President, and Cross-Country Team Captain (although that wasn’t the hardest thing because I had a graduating class size of 7). I was accepted to West Point and Fresno State University, but I decided to stay out of the military and go to Fresno State. I received a B.S. degree in Construction Management.

 

Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?

Danny: I actually started working for BSK as an independent special inspector shortly after starting college at Fresno State in Fall of 2007. I was uniquely placed because I was living in the dorms on campus, and BSK needed a fireproofing inspector for the Henery Maden Library that was under construction on campus at the time. After that project, I was officially hired as an “intern” at BSK the following summer. So, I have been working for BSK 16 years officially, but technically 17 years. I just turned 36, so I am right at the cusp of being at BSK for half of my life. I am presently the Fresno Construction Services Division Manager. I help get and manage construction projects that we perform special inspections and material testing for. When needed I still go out in the field and perform special inspections and testing to make sure we get the work covered.

Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?

Danny: I enjoy solving problems and being an advocate for my employees. I get great satisfaction in helping to keep our community safe by being a part of the team that makes sure that structures are built to code.

Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?

Danny: How can I choose only one? While I wouldn’t call many of my stories “fun”, there were definitely some crazy things that have happened over the years. From driving by a truck that was in flames on the side of the road that happened to be one of BSK’s (it had spontaneously combusted while driving), to a dead body being found on a jobsite, it has not been a dull time here. I guess if I must choose…

A long time ago, when I was still out in the field as a technician/inspector, I was on a project from hell. For the first year of the project BSK was only allowed to have one person performing the work. It consisted of several hundred yards of concrete almost every single day, where I had to test every single truck (approximately every 15 minutes), even if it was blazing hot or freezing cold. Some of the other field personnel tried covering the project, but all of them ended up refusing to cover the work because it was so taxing. By the second year of the project, I was finally allowed to have a second person helping. One of those people was Jim Growdon. Jim gave me the nickname Taz because I was just a whirling blur with how fast I was performing the work. It was some tough work, but there was also some down time occasionally waiting for concrete trucks to show up. In those short gaps of time, I got to connect with Jim and hear about his son that had passed away. BSK has basically been like family, and despite the difficulties of the work itself, this was a time that I really felt that closeness.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?

Danny: I am an Eagle Scout. I have 5 kids (including 1 set of mirror image identical twins), 5 cats, and 2 dogs. I own and drive a school bus known as the Cool Bus, for my family vehicle. I still play competitive soccer (both indoor and outdoor adult coed leagues). My wife just recently got legally adopted (her parents died, we found a couple that wanted grandkids,…). I enjoy tinkering/designing/inventing. I enjoy cooking, art, camping, and playing sports (although not a big fan of football or baseball).

Our growth is a direct testament to our commitment to proactivity, one of BSK’s core values. We value having the foresight and vision to anticipate conditions and capitalize on opportunities—always staying ahead of the curve and taking decisive action. Where others see issues, we see solutions.

This proactive mindset has allowed us to identify emerging client needs and industry trends, from expanding our specialized offerings like PFAS testing and enhanced materials testing capabilities like Superpave. Our ability to anticipate changes and act quickly has been key to our growth, ensuring that we’re always positioned to meet the demands of our clients.

Meet the Staff: Maylene Dosano, Laboratory Technician II

/in /by
Meet the Staff: Maylene Dosano, Laboratory Technician II:  Meet Maylene, a dynamic member of the BSK Associates team, who brings her unique blend of cultural background and professional experience to every aspect of her work. Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, Maylene moved to the United States in 2012, where she navigated the challenges of adapting to a new country while excelling in her education. Maylene’s story is a testament to her resilience, adaptability, and passion for making a positive impact, both within her team and in the broader community.
Interviewer: Hi Maylene! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?
Maylene: Yes. I was born in Manila, Philippines. Grew up with the loud noise, traffic, and busy city life. I was raised there and lived there for 17 years alongside my two siblings. My family and I moved to the United States back in 2012 in hopes for a better life and future for all of us. It was a rollercoaster of feelings being in a foreign country, but it made me the person I am today. Since my family moved a lot, I have been to 5 different elementary schools and 3 high schools all of which allowed me to meet so many great people. I finished college at Sacramento City College with an Associate Degree in Mathematics and Engineering (CE) during Covid.
Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?
Maylene: I started with BSK in September 2021. I took a shot in applying for a Field Technician position because it was getting difficult to find a job during pandemic. Rather than being picky, I let myself become a sponge and absorb all sorts of information and skills (old and new) and apply it as an opportunity for my professional development. I got assigned to multiple job sites to do client’s routine sampling, special sampling events, and/or emergency samples.  After a year or so of great experience, I got promoted to be in the client services department in which I am responsible for building and maintaining positive relationships between BSK and its clients. Part of my duties also includes managing client inquires and sample log in, while also assisting with scheduling sampling events, bottle orders, and promptly directing customer complaints or questions to relevant departments.
Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?
Maylene: What I enjoy the most about my job is working with our amazing team that are always open to collaborating to form better strategies to make things go smoothly for our satellite labs. I love the feeling of knowing that our company is making an impact in our community whether it be a small- or large-scale project. As a CSR (Client Services representative), I love the direct interactions with our clients and building a good rapport with them to establish trust and good business relationships. Lastly, being a part of something that is constantly working with the community, directly and indirectly, and contributing to making our clients happy by helping them complete their projects.
Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?
Maylene: One of my favorites on the job stories actually is something that happens almost every day. As a satellite location we experience a late afternoon rush when all of our field staff come back into the office from the field. This rush is my favorite because that is when I see everyone on our team work together to get the all the samples logged in, labeled, and ready for the lab. Everyone is actively helping each other out and willing to come together to make the day end smoothly. Another thing is when clients go out of their way to show appreciation for the services we provide, it always makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?
Maylene: Fun fact about myself is that I was a part of a competitive hip-hop dance team for 4 years in college which got me to travel and compete in different places. It was a fun experience, but my back and my body are not cooperating anymore as I age haha! I love to cook any type of dishes (Filipino, Korean, Chinese, Italian, etc.). Lastly, my family and I love to try out different escape rooms in each State that we travel too.
