Today's Featured Biography

Kevin Wiggs

I have remained in the Falls Church-Fairfax-McLean area since high school. I attended George Mason University for a BA in Chemistry and a MA in Industrial Psychology. I worked with Kris Brinkman for the local AAA Potomac (auto club) for seven years and then, after grad school, for the AAA National HQ as a consultant to AAA clubs nationwide for three more years.

Since 1990, I have worked for Management Analysis, Incorporated, a growing management consulting firm in Vienna. My primary client during this period has been the US Army Corp of Engineers. Mostly I perform staffing analyses of operations and maintenance personnel at dams, hydropower plants, recreation areas, and navigation locks located on rivers and lakes all over the US. I have had the pleasure of seeing actual salmon runs on the Columbia River and in Idaho, huge bass near dams in the southwest, and alligators at locks in Louisiana. Other business trips have afforded me such opportunities as being stuck (pleasantly) in traffic jams in British Columbia and Montana due to moose involved in roadside grazing and big horn sheep sunbathing between lanes of traffic.

During 1999 and 2000, I had a long-term consulting project at a US Army base in southwestern Germany and a short-term project at a US Navy base in Spain. During most of 1999 and early 2000, I was living half-time in Germany. Since starting these two projects, I have been able to visit Prague, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Munich (Oktoberfest!), the Black Forest area, Madrid, Seville, and Tangier, Morocco. It has been interesting learning about different customs/cultures and trying to learn German from menus, signs, and TV. At least in Spain some of my high school Spanish was useful, it just takes so long to fish it out of those dusty, long-forgotten recesses of my brain. Oh well.

In July 2003, I was invited to share a house in Tuscany (Central Italy) with GCM alumni Craig Weyant and his family. 16 of his friends and family members stayed in a recently renovated and modernized farm house dating from the 14th century in the middle of Chianti Wine country (think Napa). We went to Florence, Assisi, and small wine towns.

After we parted company in Central Italy, I stayed for 2 more weeks and took a tour that included Rome, Venice, Lucerne, Paris, and London. Later in 2003, I was able to get to the canal-city of Amsterdam for five days as part of a business trip. This is truely the Venice of northern Europe. The people are great, scenery is amazing, and even in December, its a great place to visit for museums, shopping, and people watching. I was able to visit Brussels and other parts of Holland in October 2004, Prague-Vienna-Budapest in 2005, and back to Italy for ten days in 2006.

At work, I continue to conduct staffing, productivity, and process analyses for various Government clients. We are all awaiting the outcome of the elections, which impacts on how much business consultants like us get for the next four years.

In December 2004, I was promoted to Vice President at Management Analysis, Inc. I completed my first 16 years at MAI in January 2006.

Thanks,

Kevin
