Professional History:

Honeywell International

Senior Research and Development Engineer

Project Management: DBA Engineering and Ministry of Transport, Ontario Canada –

DENT Test Research; National Center for Asphalt Technology, Auburn Alabama -

laboratory study for reduced paving thickness applications; National Cooperative

Highway Research Program, Washington DC – Oversight Panel for high RAP content

and recycling agents

Supervise asphalt concrete production and paving trials. Liaison with local DOT officials,

polymer modified asphalt producers, asphalt concrete producers and paving contractors

for formal Honeywell Titan® field trials to ensure successful paving trials and that the

benefits are recognized. Collect data, write and present reports on trials.

Test Development: Developed an extraction technique to quantify the amount of

Honeywell Titan® polymer in hot mix samples.

Virginia Department of Transportation

Engineer Technician II

Assist in monitor program of quality control systems as employed by the road and bridge

construction industry. Daily visits to surface mines and asphalt production plants;

combined production, 10 million tons of aggregate and 4 million tons of asphalt concrete.

Review and analyze test data as reported by the industry contractors. Propose and

implement corrective actions based on quality issues.

Frederick Asphalt Co., L.L.C.

Mix Design Technician

1) Perform tasks in support of the construction and maintenance of major highways and

roadways. This includes field work such as conducting tests with laboratory equipment

including aggregate gradations, bulk specific gravities, maximum specific gravities,

gyratory compaction, Marshall compaction, Ignition Oven asphalt content

determinations, after ignition aggregate mix gradations.

2) Maintain and upgrade all field and laboratory testing equipment.

3) Perform quality control testing on paving materials, in accordance with Maryland State

Highway Administration specifications. Work with state and local inspectors to insure

quality road construction, while meeting time and cost goals.

4) Projects:

I-270 Frederick County, 12.5 MM Gap-Graded (SMA) overlay, ~50,000 tons

I-70 / I-270 Frederick County, 9.5MM, 12.5 MM, 19MM, 25MM overlay, ~75,000 tons

FOB / Private

Frederick County, BM, SM, 9.5MM, 12.5 MM, full depth and overlay, ~60,000 tons

Advanced Asphalt Technologies, L.P.

Binder Quality Control Manager

1) Pavement evaluations, pavement condition surveys of major airfields, seaports,

highways and roadways for research, development and high production time-limited

projects, QA/QC support to field construction and testing activities, conventional field

and laboratory testing as per ASTM/AASHTO Standard Methods, daily involvement in

data collection, data reductions, statistical analysis, and report preparation.

2) Coordinate with engineers, researchers, and production staff in developing test plans,

selecting field tests, and modifying test procedures, lead laboratory and field teams for

testing of procedures and equipment, regular participation in the preparation and

presentation of reports and papers to colleagues, supervisors, local, national and

international visitors.

3) Install field and laboratory instrumentation at multiple sites, including a complete

“SUPERPAVE” lab set-up and training program in Romania.

4) Destructive and non-destructive testing of lab produced specimens and mat cores using

Instron and Interlaken test frames, Brookfield viscosity of binders (unmodified and

polymer modified), Kinematic viscosity, Rheometrics Dynamic Shear Rheometer,

Cannon Bending Beam Rheometer.

5) Identify polymer sources for asphalt concrete pavement projects. Design polymer

modified asphalt binder (PMAB) to meet ASTM/AASHTO Standard Methods

specifications using rheological testing. Develop on site quality control methods for

production of PMAB. Collect and analyze field data, prepare reports.

6) Projects:
