• Dispatched and managed sand logistics to job sites.

• Prepared and presented stage-by-stage billing tickets to customer representatives.

• Assisted in managing QHSE and SSE paperwork.

• Managed and Operated Software for frac operations: Meyers MView and MWell

Assistant Engineer (May 2009 – December 2010) / Intern (May 2008-May2009) May 2008 – December 2010

Matson & Associates Inc., State College, PA

• Gained knowledge on environmental contaminants such as PCBs, lead, arsenic, and chlorinated solvents, and regulations concerning the use, handling and disposal of such chemicals, such as TSCA, RCRA and CERCLA.

• Evaluated process design, operation, and emissions controls for various manufacturing industries.

• Conducted technical and legal research supporting dispute resolution.

• Performed data analysis and interpretation of sampling results relating to environmental remediation.

• Presented research findings in graphical, verbal, and written formats.

• Presented at the 6th International PCB Workshop in Visby, Sweden (6/2010).

• Representative Projects

o Contract Dispute concerning the design, operation, and maintenance of a tertiary wastewater treatment system. Specifications for design requirements were analyzed and air and water flows were calculated. It was determined that construction contractor design changes caused the filter to operate below the required specifications. These conclusions were obtained through data analysis and the review of literature and design drawings.

o Cost Allocation Dispute concerning the characterization and remediation and PCB contaminated sediments in a major western waterway. The historical use of PCBs in transformers and capacitors was analyzed, statistical data concerning PCB production years was calculated, and origins of PCB contamination based on chlorination level of PCB congeners found and type of equipment used was determined.

o Insurance Coverage Dispute between a corporate entity and its insurance carriers concerning reimbursement for remediation of PCB contaminated sediments in a mid-west river basin. A repository for an industry trade association was visited to review archived materials relevant to the matter; primarily research oriented correspondence within the organization and past research in the field of PCB use in the industry.

• Assisted Matson Biofuels in the generation of a pilot plant for the production of biodiesel using a solid catalyst utilizing HYSYS, chemical engineering principles, research, and the creation and implementation of innovative ideas.
