Brian T. Kelleher

Born in Jersey City, NJ, 1951 and raised with 5 brothers by Harry and Lou in Medfield MA, Environmental Engineer/occasional author Brian T. Kelleher graduated from Lake Forrest College, IL, in 1974 with the college's first BA degree in Environmental Studies and U Mass Lowell in 1983 with the university's first MS degree in Environmental Engineering. He devised many independent studies and taught about half the graduate night school courses he got credit for while working during the day as Sr. Environmental Engineer for the MA Dept of Environmental Quality Engineering. After assisting DEQE attorneys draft the state RCRA and CERCLA regs, he started up the site mitigation program for the Metro Boston area. Working on his own, he did the initial site assessments and supervised removal actions for approximately 115 uncontrolled waste sites including two of the top 10 on the USEPA's original superfund list (Nianza and Beatrice Foods which a movie made famous due the ensuing lawsuit). Brian moved to CA in 1981 and worked as Sr Environmental Engineer for Gibbs Hill/Dravo assisting with the siting and permitting of geothermal, wind, hydro and gas turbine co-generation power plants. He formed Kelleher & Associates Environmental Mgmt in late 1983 as a free lance consultant in the fields of site mitigation and air pollution control. By 1990 several San Francisco Bay Area case special masters began using Brian via stipulation in the role of neutral court consultant/neutral fact finder in helping them resolve lawsuits stemming from the pollution of air, land and water without the need for trial. Over the past 30 years he has helped countless litigants and insurance companies enter equitable settlement often coordinating the remediation of the impacted properties through closure under continued court jurisdiction using pooled resources or insurance settlements. He did extensive consulting work in the air quality control and permitting through the early 2000s. Using his skills as neutral fact finder to solve historical mysteries by focusing in on empirical evidence, Brian has so far authored three books since 1997 including: (1) Drake's Bay Unraveling CA's Great Maritime Mystery (1997); (2) The Complete Unraveling of the JFK Assassination (2015); and (3) Exposing the Progressive Left Greenhouse Gas Charade (2020).
