I've enjoyed a diverse career in the public and private sectors which included; training, regulatory compliance, risk management, loss control, machine safety, lock-out tag-out, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, and worker's compensation. I am very proud of implementing strong employee return-to-work and stay-at-work programs, while working closely with injured employees, their doctors, and insurers to get our employees back to work safely and swiftly. These programs resulted in greater productivity, quicker recovery and greatly reduced workers' comp premiums.I also enjoyed a rewarding and impactful career in the United States Coast Guard.

Additionally, I responded to some of our nation’s greatest natural disasters.I have held numerous certificates and qualifications in; environmental protection, employee safety, public safety and health, industrial hygiene, emergency response, information, and physical security, maritime and international law enforcement, training, auditing, and inspections.
