David Uhlmann, who recently stepped down as head of EPA’s enforcement office, has a unique familial connection to the sprawling downtown campus that houses agency headquarters.
His late father was a staff psychologist at the Department of Labor and worked from the same complex, now known as the William Jefferson Clinton Building.
“He would have loved the fact that I was serving as the assistant administrator, and the fact that I was working in the same office complex,” said Uhlmann, who was born in Flint, Michigan, but grew up in Washington, where he now lives. “It would have been something that made him very happy.”
Uhlmann served over two years at EPA, first as a senior adviser, then as deputy assistant administrator and finally as head of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, once he was confirmed by the Senate.
