I work with people to integrate data streams and solve intractable problems. Experience in industrial process and environmental management in the chemical weapons demilitarization industry has allowed me to develop skills that answer difficult questions in sustainable ways.

Accepted merged responsibilities of the previous Project/Program Manager and Environmental Permitting Manager roles at the Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant. Line manager for 17 scientific and permitting professionals to manage 4,000 + pages of RCRA, SWPPP, and Air permits at the PCAPP hazardous waste treatment facility.Responsibility for development and implementing the permitting and closure strategies for PCAPP.

•Leads a test development, physical testing, and data reporting of three chemical weapons incineration units (4 trial burns). Supported startup and testing under RCRA and MACT EEE hazardous waste incinerator regulations. •Built and tracked integrated schedules to manage environmental testing and permitting activities. Used tools like Project, P6, Planisware, Excel as dictated by project needs to build and track schedules. •Scope, write, price, and propose projects and tasks up to 180… Show more •Leads a test development, physical testing, and data reporting of three chemical weapons incineration units (4 trial burns).

Used tools like Project, P6, Planisware, Excel as dictated by project needs to build and track schedules. •Scope, write, price, and propose projects and tasks up to 180 million dollars. •Developed data collection, analysis, and reporting tools to manage plant operations data. Led a team of data analysts and scientists to build data analysis and machine learning tools with Splunk that have shifted culture around data use and analysis. These tools and processes are used on a daily basis to identify issues with critical operating systems that were otherwise too large and complicated to evaluate by hand. •Manage a matrix-resourced team of local, long-distance, and subcontract technical staff to collect, interpret, and present technical data to support the US chemical weapons destruction mission. •Manage a test and evaluation for the start-up and validation of chemical weapons destruction systems at a multi-billion-dollar chemical weapons destruction facility•Facilitate start-up and process testing of an immobilized cell bioreactor (ICB) system to treat effluent from a chemical weapons destruction plant.
