Bellingham, WA, US

Dallas, Texas, US

Currently acting as the Energy and CO2 Focal Point for the refinery, as well as supporting the Utilities area as a Process Engineer. Developing long-term energy and emissions strategies, including large-cap projects to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 footprint while helping maintain safe and reliable day-to-day operations and improvements.

St Louis, Missouri, US

Completed conceptual, feasibility, and detailed engineering designs for refinery and semiconductor facilities. Created P&IDs, integrated client specs, coordinated vendor equipment packages, and led major design reviews for the Process discipline. Further developed skills in AutoCAD drafting, specification writing/updates, and engineering design workflows.

Findlay, Ohio, US

Identified $1MM in steam savings in SWS unit, supported full TAR life cycle including five separate outages, mentored a highly successful co-op, served as a step-up Operations Complex Supervisor ("Day Foreman") for 8 weeks, and served as process lead for extremely intensive refinery idling efforts in the Logistics area.

Findlay, Ohio, US

Captured $7MM+ savings around sulfur production reporting; completed a Unit PHA/LOPA; stewarded numerous MOCs involving piping, procedural, DCS, and process changes; trained operators on initiatives, changes, and operational optimizations; supported multiple CAPEX projects for the area; served as TAR process lead on night shift for a half-refinery TAR.

Houston, Texas, US

Managed process and finished fuel applications across three refineries (desaltering, corrosion mitigation, fouling and foaming control, and various finished product specs). Supported key customer economic initiatives, resulting in over $1MM in realized value at one site alone. Trained a new hire on full account management, including technology, customer.

Houston, Texas, US

Won and currently managed the chemical treatment programs for crude units and multiple finished products, along with development and implementation of continued improvement projects to drive maximum refinery reliability and profitability. Regularly interfaced with Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance personnel to achieve improvements, and routinely.

Houston, Texas, US

Learned and helped to implement a desalter treatment and monitoring program for a 270 MBPD crude unit.Developed a crude asphaltene stability testing protocol that was used to target unit charge blends and minimize preheat fouling, and completed over 80 hours of technical training on industry-wide crude unit issues and engineered solutions to address them.

Leuven, BE

Supervised, motivated and enabled four Teamster production line teams in a post-acquisition, 24-7 production environment.Developed high-level interpersonal skills, allowing for effectiveness when communicating and working with all levels of the organization. These skills improved interactions with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering and Management.

Kingsport, Tennessee, US

Drove 12 CAPEX projects through various stages of the project life cycle, including initial scoping, design, and implementation. Projects supported the site Wastewater Treatment Facility, including effluent treatment and solids incineration.Projects included a lift station instrumentation upgrade (resulted in a new standard for instrumentation in dirty.

Kingsport, Tennessee, US

Performed Process Engineering functions in support of the Ethylene Oxide / Ethylene Glycol Department, including equipment sizing/specification/installation, quality control improvement, and assisting safety initiatives.Completed a project to spec and install steam traps for dirty steam service, a material balance that identified the source of a critical.

Kingsport, Tennessee, US

Performed Process Engineering functions in support of the Aldehyde Reductions Department, including mass balance development, product loss quantification, and operator training.Identified $390k in annual losses to impurities in a product stream (resulting in a project that recovered $160k annually), updated full unit mass balances for four production.
