• Emerson Corporation - Participated with an multi-functional team designing Severe Duty Knife Gate Valves in both Class 150 (285 psi) and Class 300 (740 psi). Project scope included all common sizes in both classifications from 2 inch through 48 inch. This project included the design of large stainless-steel castings with a "family look" as well as heavy duty fabricated and machined components.• Water Safety Corporation - Design of plastic injected molded water filtration components and systems. This was a team effort with the clients Engineering Team. Challenges on these projects included thermoplastic pressure vessels requiring NSA Certification and Non-linear Finite Element Analyses.• Pentair Valves and Controls (formerly Tyco Flow Control) – Contract design work on large (24” +, Class 300) valves. These valves are used for pipeline and plant service and must meet Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes. Optimum configurations are determined by the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to check solid models against requirements.• Blac-Rac Manufacturing, Inc., Boise Idaho - Designed and prototyped two models of locking tactical weapon racks, one manual and one electronic. Manufactured and field tested prototypes. Adapted designs to better meet end user requirements as they evolved. Completely documented both designs with revision control; established a part numbering system; and produced supporting graphics for brochures, a website and, instructions. • Windwise Turbine, LLC, Portland Oregon – Modeled a VAWT with carbon fiber composite lifting vanes for FEA evaluation, CFD optimization and manufacturing.• Coal and Biomass Gasification Research – Ongoing since 1990: design, research and economic evaluation of gasification equipment for use in gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and associated fuel conversion processes (i.e., Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis, Methanol Synthesis). These systems convert biomass, coal, and refuse into a clean combustible gas.

• Responsible for coordinating the design activities of multiple teams of Electrical, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineers through all project phases as they were developing lighting and alarm warning products in an ISO 9001 and Six Sigma environment. The products being developed had to meet global compliance criteria (EMI, RFI, SAE, UL CE etc.) as well as design accountability regiments (DFMA, FMEA, FEA) required by a world class customer base.• Participated on global design/development/procurement teams in Europe, Asia, and Australia qualifying suppliers and troubleshooting manufacturing issues.• Worked in support of the Marketing Group with multifunctional teams to establish new product definitions, target cost points and project timelines that were folded into a comprehensive Business Plan for evaluation and approval by company leadership.• Our Design Teams spearheaded the evaluation of emerging technologies (e.g. sound energy focusing/cancellation, high intensity LEDs, and ray tracing optical analysis) for suitability in product applications.

Fruitland, Idaho

• Managed an Engineering and Technical staff charged with petitioning for, securing, and maintaining United States Coast Guard (USCG) approval for the company’s inflatable Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) as well as designing and developing the company’s entire product line (Sospenders®).• Once the rule changes regarding the recognition of inflatable PFDs as meeting the carry on requirements for marine vessel passengers were “codified” and published in the Code of Federal Regulations, we worked with USCG and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) establishing acceptable Certification of Procedures and Quality Assurance processes used to design, manufacture, and track the product throughout its life cycle (10 years).
