Did a lot of travel, visiting grandchildren, budget director at church, and serving on two non- profit boards. Splattered with some golf and gym workouts.

Primarily worked on a project to change out the plant programmable logic controller control system to an ABB distributive control system.

Working for this highly effective civil engineering firm that has a large variety of projects in the pipeline. I am the only electrical engineer in this office.

Worked on small project design/installation for a plastics manufacturing process. Updating interlock test procedures, functional specifications for DCS programming, and drawings updates.

Alarm Management, DCS Console Replacement Project, Chemical process control involving both hardware and software.

Performed a safety assessment for a large oil pipeline company in Canada.

Capital Projects• Lead electrical and instrument engineer for new engineering polymer extrusion lines. Distributed Programmable Controller controls.• Lead for a series of projects totaling $18 million that installed DCS control at the Washington Works Teflon® Monomer plant. Coordinated work between plant engineering group and off-site engineering contractor. Projects were installed with no safety incidents.• Lead electrical and instrument engineer on an $80 million project to install new process equipment in Teflon® Monomers plant.• Capital budget manager at DuPont LaPorte, Texas site.• Project lead for a series of projects that installed air monitoring analyzers in a high hazard process.Six Sigma Black Belt• Performed two projects that made functional changes in the process with no capital costs that reduced the use of nitrogen in various plant processes. Saved over $125,000 per year.• Project that reduced the time required to decontaminate process coolers that delivered a one-time savings of over $7.5 million.Alarm Management• DuPont corporate expert on alarm management.• Taught alarm management at the DuPont Washington Works site and various other sites across the U.S.• Plant lead at a plant site of 12 divisions and 2000 employees that developed and implemented corporate goals for alarm management.• Wrote the alarm philosophy and performed alarm rationalization for over 5000 alarms in a high hazard process.Plant Process Engineering• Wrote software distributive control system configuration(ABB/Bailey DCS) for numerous small process changes.• Control systems support for measurement and control of level, pressure, flow, temperature, and pH.
