Mr. Maxwell-Gaines received a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering specializing in water and wastewater from Texas A&M University in College Station. After college, he and his wife joined the U.S. Peace Corps and accepted volunteer positions in Suriname, South America. They were assigned to the remote village of Godo Olo which is located in the Amazon rainforest, deep in the interior of Suriname. They helped the village implement a water well project, provided after-school tutoring, and provided business training for the villagers. They spent 27 months serving in the Peace Corps. After returning to Austin in 2002, Mr. Maxwell-Gaines worked at a civil engineering firm that provided a breadth of project experience ranging from TMDL computer modeling projects for impaired streams in Texas, to subdivision design, to water and wastewater treatment plant design. He became a licensed engineer in 2007. In 2004, Mr. Maxwell-Gaines started Innovative Water Solutions LLC. IWS is a design/build water conservation company that focuses on the nexus of stormwater management and water conservation. The company designs and installs rainwater/stormwater collection systems, stormwater management systems including green infrastructure, and graywater reuse systems, as well as efficient irrigation systems and water conservative landscaping for residential and commercial projects. To date, IWS has installed over 8,000,000 gallons of rainwater storage capacity across the state of Texas. Mr. Maxwell-Gaines has designed water conservation systems and green infrastructure projects for numerous institutions including: Texas A&M University; The University of Texas at Austin; City of Austin; Texas Department of Transportation; Texas Parks and Wildlife; numerous Independent School Districts (Austin, Dripping Springs, Wimberley Hays CISD); Atmos Energy; CubeSmart; Denton County, Texas; City of New Braunfels; San Jacinto River Authority; and SeaWorld.
