Work Experience

Premier Magnesia EHS Coordinator Sept. 2023 - Present As an Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Specialist at Premier Magnesia, LLC—the exclusive producer of Magnesium Oxide from a natural ore deposit in North America—I operate within Nevada's oldest continuously operating mine, established in 1940 and projected to continue well into retirement. My primary responsibility involves delivering essential EHS support and guidance to a workforce of over 100 employees. This encompasses strict adherence to State and Federal regulations and obligations. Actively engaged in developing and implementing safe operational processes, I am instrumental in enforcing and creating company policies and procedures. Collaboration with management and subordinates is vital to achieving exceptional performance. My role extends to identifying areas for improvement, setting goals, and contributing to leading and lagging performance measures. Moreover, I facilitate the collection of Lessons Learned, conduct hazard assessments, and foster a safety-focused culture that prioritizes informed decisions over finger-pointing. Leading safety audits and inspections, overseeing incident management and investigations, delivering new hire training, and managing contingency preparedness are additional facets of my responsibilities. I am involved in environmental & workplace assessments, policy and SOP creation, contractor/vendor management, and meticulous record-keeping. With prior EHS experience in a mining setting, coupled with a robust background in Safety, GHS, HAZCOM, and a state of NV Instructor Blue Card certification, I bring a profound commitment to leadership, self-motivation, and the ability to work independently. OFI (Olam) Mill Supervisor 2023 - Sept. 2023

As the overseer of day-to-day operations in food product milling, I was dedicated to ensuring the fulfillment of productivity, efficiency, cost, quality, and safety objectives. My role involved providing strategic direction, leadership, and support to associates, fostering empowerment, teamwork, and continuous improvement initiatives. A key focus was on promoting and enforcing safe work practices to create a positive and secure work environment. Supervising and training Mill staff, I ensured proper orientation and training in job duties, identifying and promptly resolving issues in the milling process. I performed maintenance and troubleshooting for any mill problems, including breaking down the equipment and ensuring everything ran smoothly. This included changing and repairing screens, bucket elevators, and bearings. Supporting continuous improvement goals in safety and quality, I assigned work, monitored operations, and made adjustments to optimize efficiency and quality. Moreover, with extensive experience in maintenance and repair of the mill, I was well-equipped to address equipment- related challenges promptly and efficiently. Maintaining cleanliness and upholding equipment efficiency standards were integral to my responsibilities. I conducted departmental meetings, providing regular communication to employees. Additionally, I monitored processes and procedures such as LOTO, calibrated weigh scales, adjusted equipment, and addressed repairs as necessary. My commitment to Food Safety was evident through required checks, analysis of lab results, and accurate documentation. Conducting inspections, sanitation checks, and color sorter assessments further contributed to my role in ensuring the smooth and compliant operations of the milling process.

Bonding Solutions General Manager 2016 - Aug. 2022 Developed a B2B distribution center for automotive collision supplies, orchestrating the setup of two warehouses and ensuring compliance with local inspectors and fire marshals for a timely 45-day opening. Successfully assembled and trained a team from inception, implementing an effective ERP & WMS system, and securing multiple vendors for logistics support. Leveraged local business relationships to achieve these objectives within five weeks, concurrently creating a budget and accounting plan for the acquisition of necessary equipment. Established standard operating procedures, HR policies, and safety protocols for seamless operations. Provided comprehensive support to a North America Rep system comprising around a hundred personnel. This encompassed regular sales reporting and the preparation of materials for customer meetings spanning from small businesses to global corporations. Furthermore, I provided support to onsite TV productions for automotive shows, facilitating the provision of product supplies and staff for restoration. This included collaborations with notable individuals such as Richard Rawlings and collaboration on his show "Garage Rehab" and Jesse James from West Coast Choppers, among others.

EP Minerals Assistant/Plant Manager 2013 - 2016 I was responsible for managing and coordinating employee activities, special projects, and improvement initiatives. I assisted with mining operations, including strip mining with loaders and haul trucks, and plant activities related to the operations and development of company products. This included the use of a hammer crusher to crush material, followed by kiln and mill production operations. I was involved in the yearly budgeting plans and worked closely with the company accountants to improve them. Through effective cost control measures, I consistently kept annual operating costs below budget, which allowed for spending in areas such as equipment and plant improvements. I also assisted in the development and support of site safety policies, ensuring that our team was working in a safe and secure environment. In my first year with EP Minerals, I exceeded financial targets by 30% through increased production, successful communication with Sales and CS departments, and other cost-saving measures such as reducing headcount. To optimize warehouse running efficiencies, I developed informational spreadsheets and complex production programs that were easily accessible and navigable for subordinate supervisors. These tools helped to streamline warehouse production and inventory management.

Moltan Company Warehouse Manager 2011 - 2013

As the manager of daily operations for packaging aggregate material, I oversaw the use of both personnel and robotic self-operated equipment. This required close coordination with Sales, Kiln Operators, Warehouse Associates, and Shipping to ensure the timely distribution and delivery of goods to our customers. To accomplish this, I had to navigate a complicated WMS system and create spreadsheets to accurately track and log our operations. I also helped with the implementation of a new and improved inventory management system that tracked everything from customer needs to hours spent working on each job by employees, and all items needed to accomplish these jobs through successful measurements. In my first year as warehouse manager, I was able to increase production rates and lower our headcount by implementing a successful (4)10-hour production schedule instead of the previous (5)8-hour schedule. This change resulted in the elimination of a full day of running cost, including utility and fuel bills, saving the company over $20,000 per week. These cost savings allowed us to invest in new equipment and additional improvements to the company, ultimately benefiting our customers and improving our overall efficiency.
