Overview

"Gold Medal Winner for Creative Non-Fiction 2021 eLit Awards Finalist in the 2020 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards This is the personal story of a very public project. It's a roller-coaster ride from big achievements to colossal blunders, seen through the eyes of an ambitious MBA, in way over his head.

As the City raced to build the treatment facilities needed to take long-awaited water supply from the Colorado River, a team of aggressive long shots took on the world of infrastructure development and finance."
