Summary
Grant Hughes is an environmental practitioner with a decade of hands-on experience spanning ecological engineering, environmental permitting, sustainability consulting, and Montessori adolescent education. He combines a BS in Environmental Science from University of Maryland with ongoing graduate studies in Environmental Planning and Management at Johns Hopkins, bringing both technical design experience (stormwater, wetlands, green infrastructure) and compliance expertise from roles at AECOM, Jacobs, and the EPA. Unusually, his background also includes electrical switchgear pricing and on-site layout management, giving him a practical understanding of construction, electrical systems, and project delivery. At Chesapeake Montessori and St. Catherine’s he translates environmental topics into experiential curricula, bridging technical practice with youth education. Colleagues rely on him to connect policy, design, and implementation across renewable energy, restoration, and green construction projects.
