Summary

I have been working in the pipeline industry for over 36 years. I have been in a Supervisory role for over 35 of those years. As an Inspector, I have overseen everything from route selection to restoration, mainline, gathering systems to stations. As a Surveyor, I have performed preliminary, route and design surveys for pipelines and related facilities. I have done countless as-built pipeline surveys including open water, cross-country, congested-area and corridor projects. I am familiar with all aspects of construction, anomaly location and repair, pig runs and hydro-testing. I take pride in working closely as a team with Inspection, Company and outside Representatives to achieve the goals set forth by project leadership. Before coming into the pipeline profession, I worked in a metallurgical laboratory as a tester and in the pipe mill as an Inspector for US Steel.
