I hold the API 570, 510 and 653 certifications, which qualify me to inspect piping, pressure vessels, and above ground storage tanks in accordance with the industry standards and regulations.My core competencies include corrosion monitoring, quality assurance audits, quality auditing, welding QA/QC, and turnaround planning and execution. I have led field QA/QC on multiple piping projects, including the construction of the new tallow unit and the Crude and Hydrocracker Turnarounds at BP Cherry Point. I have also worked as a contractor unit inspector for the off-plot unit of P66 Ferndale. My mission is to ensure the safety, reliability, and integrity of the assets and equipment that I inspect and oversee. I am passionate about delivering high-quality results and exceeding client expectations.

    Main API Field inspector and NDE technician for the 2017 Ferndale P66 shutdown in the HF alky unit from pre-shutdown work all the way to post-startup. Flange inspection was the main goal with piping and flange repairs. I worked closely with all crafts involved with a refinery shutdown to maintain communication in all the steps it took to repair all the damaged flanges along with new piping construction and inspection of in-service piping and vessels
  • Qualspec
    Nde Technician And Api 570
    Qualspec May 2014 - Sep 2015
    Moses Lake, Washington, United States
    Worked as a Level 2 NDE technician for REC Silicon where I got my first API certification. This was the first time I worked outside of the oil and gas field and got to learn what it was like working in a NDA chemical plant. I also became team leader and had to assume the role of safety for our site as well as how to do billing. This was all because we had a team of 10 people including myself. A lot of the crew were new to NDE so I had to do a lot of hands on training and teaching especially when it came to working at heights and having to wear fall arrest equipment
  • Edge Testing
    Nde Technician
    Edge Testing May 2008 - May 2014
    Bellingham, Washington, United States
    This is where I got my start in the industry. Never worked in a refinery, never worked NDE but in the course of 7 years, the company started as Edge testing, got bought by Conam NDE and then became Mistras. That whole time I worked for the same office and mostly worked at BP Cherry point. I accomplished becoming a level 2 NDE technician while also gaining on the job training hours in AUT, PAUT, Guided wave Ultrasonics, and started to gain experience in visual inspection to apply for my API certifications.
