Thom Epps

Senior Stormwater Systems Scientist
Craftwater Engineering, Inc.

Dr. Thom Epps has sometimes been referred to as Craftwater’s Mad Scientist, often descending for days into his laboratory only to resurface with a novel approach or solution to problems posed by clients and the industry at large. Before joining Craftwater, Thom entered the consulting field after 8 years in research and graduate school. Thom received his Master’s degree from Clemson University in Biosystems Engineering, studying the Lower Coastal Plain runoff response to inform better stormwater design practices in South Carolina. After some time in Portland OR studying hydrology and green infrastructure with USGS and the West Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, Thom pursued his doctorate at the University of Tennessee. He received his PhD in Civil & Environmental Engineering with research in urban impervious impacts and green infrastructure siting decision-making.
