• Coordinate equipment and personnel necessary to perform aerosol testing.• Attend daily morning meetings with the CEO to update him on the status of daily operations, client communications, scheduling, and testing.• Schedule daily and weekly meetings with staff and clients to ensure that project work is on schedule and meeting expectations. Take corrective actions as needed.• Works with clients to determine the best testing options for their products to achieve their goals.• Arrange shipping and receipt of both equipment and supplies for both domestic and international clients. • Review testing protocols and final reports and deliverables to clients.

• Member of analysis team reviewing analytical data from scientific instrumentation in support of overseas operations. Specialties include high performance liquid chromatography mass spec mass spec (HPLC/MS/MS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS).• Writes and reviews analysis standard operation procedures (SOPs) on an ongoing basis to adjust to changing analysis environment.

• Most recently worked on a project to set up, operate, maintain, and manage field laboratories at remote overseas locations. These sites have long logistical tails and demanding analysis and reporting requirements. Served as lead analyst for two four-month deployments and as an analyst for two four-month deployments• Operated and maintained a variety of laboratory instrumentation including GCMSs, LCMSs, ICMSs, HRMSs, FTIR and Raman IR detectors, IMSs, XRDs, XRFs, and radiation detectors.• Evaluated field portable instrumentation for HAZMAT first responders. I worked on a contract for the Air National Guard Civil Support Service to develop calibration curves for detecting and quantifying chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals using portable mass spectrometers, FTIRs, Raman IRs, XRFs, and IMSs.• Collected performance data for various commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) field portable chemical detection systems.• Provided client support by assisting with short-course training sessions on the use and maintenance of the COTS instrumentation as well as technical support and data interpretation for on-site teams.• In September 2012 a co-worker and I were issued US patend number 8,196,479 for an air sampling device utilizing multiple sorbent tubes. In 2015 I was presented a directors award for support of overseas laboratory operations.
