I am a highly knowledgeable results-driven Aviation and Environmental Health Safety professional with over 16 years of experience and 20 years of aviation experience. Discovered through getting things right and getting things wrong that having a true desire to help others is what makes a great safety officer. Successfully managed numerous comprehensive safety, risk management, and loss control programs. I have managed safety programs for companies that consisted of over 3200 personnel and over 2 billion dollars in facilities, vehicles, and equipment in a wide range of environments. I've been the Director of the organization’s safety program with direct oversight of 36 subordinate safety programs and managers. Monitored and enforced the safety program for both aviation and ground operations by ensuring compliance with current policies, procedures, and applicable regulations. I possess a comprehensive background in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and regulations, job hazard assessments, accident investigation, procedures, hazardous waste operations and emergency response, risk analysis, and hazard elimination. Familiar with both military and civilian regulations.As a young adult (in my 20s) I was the last person that you would have thought would become a Safety Professional, but I believe you have to have been on the other side of safety to really be a great safety professional. Just like you don't want a substance abuse counselor who has been sober their whole life you don't want a Safety Professional who has never taken any risks.o Project Management Professional (#PMP)o Aviation Safety Professional Certifiedo Safety Management Systems (SMS) Certified o Bow Tie Risk Management Certifiedo Internal Evaluations Program Certifiedo Basic Aircraft Accident Investigation Certifiedo Human Factors Certifiedo Permit Required Confined Space Certifiedo Machine and Machine Guarding Certifiedo OSHA 511 Certified
