I have more than 30 years of direct experience in the petroleum refining, LNG, midstream, chemical/petrochemical, pipeline, and power generation industries, with the preponderance of my experience in petroleum refining. More recently I have provided heavy industrial consulting services for an additional 5 years of experience. I have held positions in executive leadership, project management, engineering and maintenance management, mechanical engineering, and now consulting. Through my professional experiences, I have developed a thorough expertise of all stages of project development and execution including the management of engineering, procurement, contracting, construction, project controls, and commissioning. In the consulting sector I have performed project management and technical analysis and prepared expert reports involving construction and contract disputes on various major petroleum refinery, chemical/petrochemical, and LNG projects.During my direct industry experience I served in roles of Vice President – Capital Programs, Project Director, Engineering Director, Maintenance Director, Turnaround Director, Senior Project Manager, and Mechanical Engineer for two large U.S. domestic owner/operators in the petroleum refining and midstream business sectors. Early in my career, I served as a Mechanical Engineer for a power generation operator and was employed in a large coal-fired facility. As industrial consultant I have relied on my industry experience in the management of engineering, procurement, and construction projects and engineering and maintenance of major industrial facilities to perform financial analysis, delay analysis, causation and damages analysis, and technical analysis; evaluate project management and construction management standard of care; and prepare associated expert reports.I have a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering.
