With 10 years of engineering experience including 5 years of environmental

process engineering and 5 years of risk and safety engineering, I will

provide a diverse engineering background with the ability to adapt to new

challenges quickly. In addition, my 8 years of owning my own business

provides additional insight into the overall operation of a company.

Professional Experience

WorleyParsons August 2005 to Present

Process Engineer / Environmental Engineer / Division Manager - 3-08 to 4-

09

o Package Engineer - Reviewed the Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) system

in order to determine if the client was receiving the best available

technology from the 3rd party vendor. Consulted with the client on

the need for additional equipment in order to ensure all environmental

standards are properly met during all stages of operation including

start-up, normal operation, normal shut-down, and emergency shut-down.

Reviewed the reissued system during basic and detail engineering

including being involved in the HAZOP of the system.

o Conducted Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of steel melt

shops including determining how to improve the existing waste gas

removal system and determining what needed to be added in order to

improve the capture efficiency of the waste gas removal system.

o Established the Gas Cleaning office in China - managed 11 process

engineers and coordinated High Value Engineering (HVE) work between

Dallas and Beijing including: receiving the process engineering work

from the Dallas office, determining which engineer was available to do

the work, assign and assist with that work, and package and send the

finished work back to Dallas for final review. This HVE work helped

to increase profitability in Dallas.

o Managed the analysis of the China market in order to determine a

business development strategy for the Gas Cleaning office in China.

This included determining which Chinese steel plants to approach and

how to package our engineering services with a technology in order to

show value to potential clients.

o Safety & Risk Engineer of the HCL Unit at a new polysilicon plant

which included conducting an analysis of a vapor cloud explosion

scenario and determining if a client hired 3rd party vendor was using

the appropriate software for the analysis.

o Safety & Risk Engineer at an established polysilicon producer in Moses

Lake, Washington which produces granulated polysilicon. Conducted an

analysis of the venting system of a hydrogen compressor and determined

the worst case scenario for a hydrogen leak from the dry gas seals of

the compressor. In addition, recommendations were made to reduce the

risk of a hydrogen gas explosion.

o Technical Grant Writing for American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of

2009 (ARRA) - 2 successful grants of $1.7 million and $2.0 million for

the use of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system for the recovery of

energy from the waste gas of a steel furnace and reheat furnace at 2

steel plants (a total of ~ 6 MW produced from waste gas which would

save $ 1.9 million in annual electricity savings and reduce plant

emissions by 14,000,000 lbs of CO2, 3,000 lbs of SOx, and 14,000 lbs

of NOx every year including making the operation of the waste gas

treatment systems 100% efficient)

o Lead Process Engineer of HCl Unit at a new Polysilicon plant including

the generation of a Design Basis for the unit, worked with the Lead

Mechanical Engineer, Project Engineer, Designer, and Project Manager

to develop the process flow diagrams (PFDs) and the process &

instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)

o Lead Process Engineer of the plant Wastewater Treatment Unit at a new

Polysilicon plant including updating the Design Basis, process flow

diagrams (PFDs), and process & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)

o Cost estimation of recommended steel plant additions which included

speaking with vendors and procuring equipment for installation

o Generated pivot tables in Excel for data analysis of furnaces and

determine reduction of electrical and chemical energy

o Involved in utilizing renewable energy to recover heat from steel

plant waste gas and either make usable plant steam or generate

electrical power.

Great Grains Brewery, Inc. March 1997 to

February 2005

Co-Founder, Plant Manager/Engineer

o Creation of product including: recipe formulation, name development,

and marketing strategy

o Conducted brewing, sanitation, cellar operations, and bottling of 14

different labels

o Developed a distribution division for the 14 produced beers and 26

different imported beer products with a focus on Belgian beers

o Distributed products to 200 package stores throughout Texas - Annual

Sales - $400,000 USD

o Maintained accounting records including payables, receivables, orders,

inventory, etc.

o Managed and educated employees in daily brewing operations and

procedures

Factory-Mutual Engineering (FM Global) January 1995 to

September 1999

Safety & Risk Engineer/ Fire Protection Consultant

o Conducted loss prevention inspections for HPR (Highly Protected Risk)

property insurance purposes including evaluation of fire protection

systems which included automatic sprinkler protection, fire pumps,

foam systems, and gaseous suppression systems.

o District Flood Specialist - Verified flood exposures and potential

losses to insured accounts that have been identified by other

engineers in the field

o Reviewed construction plans for proper fire protection, earthquake

protection, snow loading, and other standards in accordance with NFPA

and FM standards

o Telecommunications Systems Analysis Specialist - Reviewed room

flooding systems including Halon 1301, FM-200, Carbon Dioxide Systems,

and Inergen in large Telco computer rooms. Reviewed emergency action

plans and procedures for aborting gaseous suppression systems.

o Conducted a plant evaluation of fire protection systems, emergency

action plans, contractor permitting systems, and reviewed plant

interdependency of manufacturing equipment at a domestic chicken

manufacturing plant. Determined the insurance company had a Maximum

Foreseeable Loss exposure due to fire protection systems over the

fryers being out of service.

o Conducted a plant evaluation of fire protection systems, emergency

action plans, contractor permitting systems, and reviewed plant

interdependency of manufacturing equipment at a domestic gas cylinder

manufacturing company. Determined the insurance company had some

unknown large exposures including long lead times for specified

equipment.

o Determined the insurance company had unknown exposures which could

increase what a normal expected fire loss would be. Even though plans

had previously been reviewed and approved by the insurance company,

this exposure went unnoticed by others for 5 years.

Professional Services Industries (PSI) June 1994 to
