PRINCIPAL, WATER
MANAGEMENT
Earlier consulting work. As Florida Team Leader at Masuen Consulting, before founding Genesis, Tave audited the irrigation on a 150-acre farm for a Florida water management district and found that management, more than equipment, was the biggest cause of its overuse. The report projected savings of about 56% if its recommendations were carried out; that is a projection, not a measured result. He also inventoried the irrigation controls across the common areas of a Florida residential community against the original design. About 75% of the components were in place, and the community could not control its water use without the upgrades.

Juan Herrera
Juan is the technical backbone of Genesis’s field water management operations, covering the full Tampa corridor with over 10 years of hands-on expertise. His command of irrigation systems runs deep, from complex multi-zone installations and controller diagnostics to pump system troubleshooting. He works fluently across submersible and centrifugal pump configurations, diagnosing failures and executing repairs that keep high-value properties running without interruption. His drainage work is equally exacting, conducting site assessments, designing solutions, and supervising installation through completion. Juan began his career at 14 and has spent every year since deepening a technical fluency that shows in the quality and reliability of every system he touches.
