Biography
Since 2006, I’ve accumulated over 20,000 hours on-site experience in cleanroom performance testing and non-destructive examinations in process and specialty-gas piping systems — primarily supporting clients engaged in bio-pharmaceutical, medical-device and microelectronics research and manufacturing. I’ve managed third-party and subcontracted inspection efforts in construction and maintenance for facilities owners including Takeda, Corning, Eli Lilly, Bausch+Lomb, Johnson & Johnson, Novo Nordisk, ON Semiconductor, and Qorvo, as well as a range of university research installations.
I’m proud to have participated in numerous successful spent fuel dry-cask storage campaigns in the nuclear power generation industry for utilities including TVA, NextEra Energy, Dairyland Power, and Entergy. I’ve also contributed quality consulting and inspections support to contractors and owners in industries as varied as aerospace, defense, food and beverage, consumer products, fiber optics, and renewable energy.
