I was a full-time professor for 5 years and then served as an adjunct professor for another five years while I was developing my consulting EHS firm. I developed and taught Industrial Hygiene, Safety, and Ergonomics classes, and advised graduate level research thesis and dissertations. Also served as a technical spokesperson for the State of Florida on environmental areas of concern. I left USF to develop my consulting firm.
