Lennon Matthew

  Hi, I am Lennon Collis Matthew from the nature island of Dominica located in the center of the eastern Caribbean Archipelago. My early education began in Dominica from the primary school system to community college where I studied Advance Level Geography and Biology. Upon completion, I taught Geography for two years at my alma mater, Portsmouth Secondary School.

My passion for earth science led me to Midwestern State University (MSU) in Wichita Fall Texas in 2000. There I pursued a BSc degree in Geology with a minor in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. I am currently a licensed registered Professional Geologist and Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank Manager in the state of Texas. A passion for growth and learning took me back to MSU where in 2023, I completed a master’s in business administration with a focus on energy management.

Over the past 20 years I have actively worked in the environmental consulting industry conducting environmental impact assessments, source removals, groundwater sampling and other environmental related activities at retail petroleum, hazardous waste, super fund sites and other environmentally sensitive locations. I am currently the Senior Regional Project Manager at APTIM working on a major Retail Petroleum account with responsibility for Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana.

I currently reside in Denton Texas, and In my spare time I enjoy going to the movies with my family, playing the guitar or trying some new art project. I give back to my homeland by aiding with the creation of an environmental advocacy nonprofit called WAVE, which stands for Waitukubuli Advocates for Viable Environments. The aim is to apply my experience and knowledge to help increase the awareness of the importance of a healthy environment to our own health and quality of life.
