I am certified by Abbott Diagnostics in the theory and operation of Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) instrumentation in the laboratory; I am certified by Instrumental Laboratories, Inc. in theory, operation and maintenance of Flame and Flameless Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy; I hold many additional certifications from seminars, workshops, and conferences held in forensic, clinical, chemical, and physical sciences including toxicology, pharmacology, clinical chemistry, criminalistics, medical technology, laboratory management and supervision, quality control, and general instrumentation and laboratory research; I personally and solely developed a hair test for the detection of drugs of abuse which has been certified by the Nevada Health Division as a certified medical laboratory test and has generated well over a million tests to date nationwide. I personally performed toxicological testing in the deaths of Elvis Presley, Sonny Liston, Howard Hughes and Teddy Binion all in Las Vegas.

EDUCATION

University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Graduate School, 1987-1994 GPA 4.00. Completed all requirements for Master of Science degree in Post Secondary Education, taking more classes than needed. However, the thesis requirement was not completed to meet the requisite time for the degree. After coming to realize from unexpected delays from the Clark County School District that I would not be able to finish in time, I decided to continue anyway and complete my thesis which consisted of conducting surveys of the success and effectiveness of DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) in two Clark County Nevada high schools, which I completed in the fall of 1994 about a year beyond curriculum requirements to be awarded a MS degree. While in graduate school in the College of Education, I was a member of Phi Kappa Phi representing an academic standing in the top 2% of the graduate class, which I held for six years. As adjunct member in the College of Health Sciences, I taught drug testing methods and interpretation to students on and off campus using my own laboratory as a teaching site which received accreditation by the board of Education as an off campus teaching laboratory facility. Professor Art Meyers, responsible for assigning students to off campus teaching facilities related to me that I had received the highest student evaluation he had ever recorded to date among facility teachers. Teaching has been a favorite pursuit of mine. The ability to explain scientific things has helped me I believe as an expert witness as well.

University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada

Bachelors Degree Chemistry 1975 GPA 3.62

Special Achievements: One of two students selected by the Chemistry Department to conduct research on an organic synthesis project funded by a federal grant. Directed by Dr. Robert Smith, Dean of UNLV ‘s Chemistry Department. The research continued for two years involving comprehensive research and documentation to support eventual published findings. I received my own office and laboratory space, very unique for an undergraduate student at the time. Extensive use of instrumentation and quality control with emphasis on methods development and innovative approaches to testing was required.

University Medical Center, Las Vegas, Nevada 1970-1974

I received four years of formal training in toxicology by the late Dr. Thorne Butler, a Board Certified Forensic Toxicologist and Pathologist. Originally hired by Dr. Butler as his research assistant, then phased into the requisitioned testing of the laboratory because of needs that arose. Later, I supervised the laboratory’s Toxicology Dept.

Kemper High School, Booneville, Mo High School Diploma

Special Achievements: Valedictorian, Bausch & Lomb Promise in Science Award (limited to one student), certifications for outstanding achievements in math, chemistry, and physics; membership in the Scholastic and General Honor Societies. Succeeded in obtaining the highest grades given in the prior 100 years of the school’s history (published in several newspapers).

Professional Certifications Many certifications from seminars, workshops, and conferences held in forensic, clinical, chemical, and physical sciences, including toxicology, pharmacology, clinical chemistry, criminalistics, medical technology, laboratory management and supervision, quality control, validity determination and confirmation, general instrumentation, research, and more.

EXPERT WITNESS

I testify and consult as an expert for both defense and prosecution.

I teach by seminar, lectures, workshops or consulting - judges, attorneys, arbitrators, hearing officers, referees, case workers, administrators and others including general drug testing education in specific cases that may be adjudicating at the time. My expertise in chemistry and toxicology include laboratory certification; drug and alcohol testing policies; laboratory testing methods, procedures and quality control; instrument operation, maintenance and analytical data evaluation; metabolism, elimination, dosage, clinical effects, and impairment of drugs and alcohol; collection, accessioning, handling, chain-of-custody, storage, and stability of specimens; medical review, interpretation, and reporting of results. I have been qualified as a forensic chemist and forensic toxicologist in District, Justice, and Municipal Courts in Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and California. I have testified in labor arbitrations in a number of states; in Federal Court; in military court for the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force; and by the National Park Service, BLM, Fish and Game, the U.S. Department of Treasury, and other State and Local Government Agencies. I have been approved by the Drug Enforcement Administration to retest samples initially tested by federal laboratories upon request by the Federal Public Defender. I routinely test or retest samples submitted by law enforcement agencies for drug and alcohol related arrests. I have been qualified as an expert in hair testing in the District Courts of Nevada. I have been contracted by the State of Nevada as an expert for the Nevada Highway Patrol, the Department of Parole and Probation, the State Industrial Insurance System (SIIS), and the Nevada Attorney for Injured Worker’s (NAIW) for interpreting blood, urine and hair drug and alcohol testing used to determine DUI cases, parole or probation violations, arbitrate workman’s compensation, or adjudicate child custody in Family Court proceedings.

RESEARCHER

I developed testing methods utilized by University Medical Center, particularly for alcohol/drug testing in blood samples to provide faster, more accurate and more cost effective testing; developed numerous methods for improved environmental and chemical testing at Western Technology Corporation and Atlas Chemical Testing Laboratory. Much of the testing was unique and designed specifically for the sought for results. As an example, when self lighting charcoal briquettes came out, I was asked by a developing company to prove analytically which of four prototypes of charcoal produced the most heat over the longest period of time. I designed a special closed insulated system to determine this information, which I never used again. I authored the instructions for using the first self-lighting briquettes, which appeared on packages of the superior prototype. In another research project at ATI, I developed a blood testing method for drugs that is substantially quicker to perform and is just as, if not more, accurate than existing methods, which continues to be used today. Also, in the early 90’s at ATI, I developed a hair testing methodology for drugs of abuse which, like in the other cases, I researched and developed alone, taking me a year and a half to develop. This hair test has now generated over a million tests for ATI nationwide. Before introducing the hair test into the workplace, however, I tested its legal prowess in the court system for a year and a half without incident. Today, local courts continue to use this hair test almost exclusively in adjudicating child custody cases. This type of testing that takes children away from their parents must be extremely accurate, which was my aim in its development. In the tens of thousands of hair tests performed by the courts since its introduction, not one to date has been successfully legally challenged.
