Work Experience:

. JM Smucker Co., ****-****

The Folgers Coffee Co was purchased by Smucker's from Procter & Gamble in

November 2008. I was in scope at the time of purchase since I worked in

Folgers R&D and began to work for Smucker's. My main focus was on the

continuous development of coffee predrying. In 2009, Smucker's

announced that they would be transferring our group to Orrville Ohio and

closing our Cincinnati location in October 2011. I led a team to

transfer and start up existing R&D equipment from the Cincinnati location

to the Orrville location during the move. I also started a new coffee

R&D predrying project in Orrville during the summer/fall of 2011.

Procter & Gamble, 1976-2008

I worked in Folgers Coffee Product Development at WHBC for about one and

one half years. The assignment that I was hired to do here disappeared

after three months. That job was the startup and qualification of a

liquid coffee beverage at a contract manufacturer. For the next five

months after that assignment, I worked on various technical issues

including: nitrogen costsavings in Folgers canisters, one way valve

testing and test method development,and powdered flavor qualification. I

then began working on the predried coffee project increasing capability

on the current equipment and developing new, less expensive equipment for

increased capacity of that raw material.

My previous assignments at Procter & Gamble were:

1. Working in Snack & Beverage Techology Department at MVIC. This

assignment was for three years. I had led numerous plant EO's and

qualification tests for creamy coffee beverages keying on creamer

manufacture. In addition, I had conducted and evaluated a number

of stability studies in that area.

2. Juice Product Development for seven years, Sunny Delight - Food &

Beverage Department. I had the responsibility of process

development - both basemaking(concentrate) and finished product.

That role built upon twenty years of experience in Product

Development - Food & Beverages. In that position, I qualified new

co-packers and P&G plants to blend and process our Sunny Delight

and Hawaiian Punch brands. Part of that responsibility had been in

the area of developing better and more economical beverage raw

materials and processes. In addition, my duties included exploring

new beverage opportunities in other areas of the world focusing on

the Mid East and the Far East. Also, my function had been to

evaluate new and current businesses outside the United States for

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). I have been to Canadian,

Puerto Rican and Mexican co-packers to assess their processes and

start up their systems on Sunny Delight and Hawaiian Punch. My

past work experience in the beverage area includes test market and

national expansions of various Valensina and Punica brand juice and

juice drinks in Germany. I have been on numerous international

assignments including Germany, Belgium, P.R. China, Taiwan, Brazil,

Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. I have been awarded two patents:

one (5260086) for an aseptic pulp process and product using such

pulp; another (5411755) for work in China developing a natural high

intensity sweetener from a local fruit called Luo Han Guo.

3. Previous assignments at P&G include product development of many

shampoos, conditioners, dentifrice, mouthwashes and detergents for

Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Venezuela and Japan.

My personal computer experience is excellent and includes many DOS and

Windows-based programs such as Word, Excel, Visio Technical, Powerpoint,

Project, etc.
