FPM Heat Treating – NADCAP Commercial Heat Treater 2019 to Present Plant Metallurgist – Primary technical representative for Commercial/Automotive/Military/Aerospace/Nadcap Clients regarding Batch & Belt Furnace Carburization/Carbonitriding, Vacuum Furnace, Salt Bath, Induction and Straightening operations. Provide contracted failure analysis investigations and R&D material/product development consulting. Responsible for the processing parameters for all Military and Aerospace orders. Functioned as the plant process/quality engineer and metallurgical resource (ie: the ‘canary’ in the coal mine) for the customer service department, sales/quoting team, plant foreman, furnace operators, laboratory technicians, quality inspectors & disposition specialists. ArcelorMittal – Riverdale – Compact Strip Mill – Hot Rolled Coil Products 2012 to 2015 Metallurgical Process Engineer – Interdepartmental role in Operations & Quality Assurance Quality Assurance: Responsible for ensuring the metallurgical integrity of product shipped in accordance with customer specifications through all processes. Managed critical production databases/software controlling metallurgical process parameters for all steel grades (LC, HC, HSLA, & alloyed grades). Produced process history investigations for internal audits and external customer quality inquiries. Collaborated with process automation and research personnel to improve and develop process logs, reporting systems and operational control models. Partnered with operators, maintenance & research divisions on continuous improvement projects, plant trails, safety audits, & unplanned outage events. Maintained & expanded quality control documents for plant certifications (ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025). Operations: Embedded with operations across the facility to understand the impact of upstream process inputs, and production/instrumentation limitations on the downstream metallurgical quality. Conducted extensive metallurgical processing trials to isolate sources of lamination and near surface defects. Reported results used to prioritize maintenance resources, restore confidence in best practices, update work instructions & develop training tools for operators. One study was published & received the AIST 2015 Ladle and Secondary Refining Best Paper Award. Education

Missouri Science & Technology Metallurgical Engineering Department Rolla, Missouri

*Masters research program Advisor: Dr. Kent Peaslee (deceased) GPA: 4.0 / 4.0 Thesis Topic: Evaluation of steel cleanliness, thermal processing and mechanical properties of cast and hot isostatic pressure treated advanced high strength martensitic steels (300M, HP 9-4-30, C-250, ES-1). Side Projects: Liquid side processing and solidification study for thin strip casting. Foundry study on the application of refining practices used in integrated mills. Root cause failure analysis investigation of peritectic steel castings. Quantitative inclusion and carbide study on steel processing and property variations of ES-1.

*Passed thesis defense – final submission of thesis derailed after death of primary advisor. Colorado School of Mines Graduated: May 2009 Golden, Colorado B.S. Metallurgical & Material Science Engineering Overall GPA: 3.290 / 4.0 Minor: Bioengineering and Life Sciences (BELS) Major GPA: 3.521 / 4.0 Engineer in Development Experience:

2008 to 2009 Spot Weld Research Group – (FeMET Design Grant) Dr. Kip Findley, CSM – ASPPRC Investigation into the weld integrity and fracture mode in TRIP Steel compared to prior-generation steels of different strength and ductility. Presented work at MS&T 2009, Pittsburgh, PA, 2009; Published in Iron & Steel Technology

(Aug. 2010, Vol.7, No.8, Pg.76-85); & Placed 3rd in AWS 2009 undergraduate poster Competition. Spring 2009 Sheet Metal Bending Under Tension – Senior Design Dr. C. Van Tyne, CSM – ASPPRC Investigation to validate the theoretical strain field model for sheet bent under tension. The microhardness study fit the strain field model, but challenged the theory’s the initial position of the neutral plane under pure bending. Fall 2008 Metallurgy of Welding – Team Project Dr. Stephen Liu, CSM – CWJCR Study on the addition of hydrogen to GMAW shielding gas made directly over mill scale and rust. Evaluated arc stability, weld bead morphology, post-weld microstructure and mechanical properties with respect to gas mixtures. Summer 2008 Kennecott Utah Copper – Engineering Intern Smelter Technical Group – Magna, Utah Projects: furnace matte/slag models, SO2 emissions, lock out tag out procedures for plant shutdown. Summer 2006 Hess Corporation – Summer Intern/Technician Seminole, Texas Projects: acid stimulation, instillation of a casing liner and restoration of an abandoned well.
