Tyler Coogan, Project Manager
I joined DMG in October 2017 after 6 years of professional experience in municipal public safety operations, university grant administration, and marketing. Prior to that, I completed the masters in public administration (MPA) program at Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA), with a focus on transportation analysis. At DMG, I utilize my analytical skills while also working directly with clients and improving service delivery for public goods and services.
During my time at DMG, I have worked with numerous state DOTs on a variety of projects. I helped the California DOT implement an asset data collection plan; I worked with Maricopa County DOT on a performance-based budgeting implementation project; and I assisted the Alabama DOT and Utah DOTs on maintenance management system testing and new system implementation. I also expanded DMG’s transit portfolio while working with Valley Metro Rail on an asset management data maturity study. I have worked with multiple agencies to develop requirements for transportation asset management plans (TAMPS), including data management for highway, transit, and staffing assets, and writing requirements for third-party software procurement.
My co-workers at DMG offer diverse skill-sets and years of experience in the transportation industry. The team encourages professional development through courses and certifications. The knowledge and network of professionals tied to this organization allows my work to flourish, and gives me the resources I need to deliver quality work to our client base.
Jeff Holabaugh, Vice President
I joined DMG in August 2011 shortly after completing the masters in public administration (MPA) program at Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA). As an undergraduate at West Virginia University, I became interested in government service delivery and the bureaucracy. At DMG, I work on projects that allow me to utilize my educational background while fulfilling my desire to improve service delivery.
During my time at DMG, I have worked with numerous state DOTs on a variety of projects. I helped the Texas DOT implement a statewide maintenance management system; worked with Michigan DOT on a highway asset inventory collection research project using remote technologies; and analyzed and recommended improvements to the Mississippi DOT's equipment management processes. I am currently working with multiple states to develop transportation asset management plans (TAMPs) in order to document information about state highway assets, management and investment strategies, and business management processes.
I work with a great team that has a diverse set of backgrounds, both educationally and professionally. The team encourages my professional development and I am able to continually improve my technical and professional expertise.
