Applications being tested for fuel savings and increased engine life.Food Processing, Energy Saving & Food Safety...Antimicrobial Copper can make the hospital environment more hygienic by killing bacteria on frequently touched surfaces. When cleaned regularly, Antimicrobial Copper alloys are the only solid metal touch surface materials registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to continuously kill more than 99.9% of bacteria that cause HAIs within two hours of contact.Science supporting the EPA registration has proven Antimicrobial Copper to be a highly effective touch surface materials and has sparked a global campaign advocating the use of these materials.Three main characteristics make Antimicrobial Copper a highly effective touch surface material:Continuously kills bacteriaProven to continuously kill bacteria that cause infectionsContinuous and ongoing antimicrobial actionRemains effective even after repeated wet & dry abrasion and re-contaminationNatural tarnishing does not impair efficacySafe to useNot harmful to people or the environmentInherently antimicrobial, no chemicals addedCompletely recyclableGerm-Killers: Nanocopper, Nanosilver, etc.“Active” Packaging: Nanosensors may allow for traceability and monitoring of food storage conditions (packaged products that change colors when contents are spoiling or contaminated and product identification tags).Governments have invested heavily in military applications of Nanotechnology.

At GFT, I helped develop market entry strategies for fresh/frozen tilapia, shrimp and salmon, including GFT’s iPura brand and development, depicting value strategies, analyzed advertising revenue and cost effectiveness. Strategic analysis included business plan & sales strategy development focused on how to distribute seafood. Advising new businesses about GFT's iPura food safety program and business structures, i.e., entry strategies, covering sales, marketing and structured commercial buyer programs. I helped generate new development ideas for an import company, integrating it into a working sales structure, that focuses on seafood importation, logistics, distribution and sales. I set up and ran on-site biotech field study projects with our proprietary anti-microbials, running tests and measuring results on vegetables, dairy operations, tilapia, shrimp, tuna for the HRI industry. All tests were performed on location at vegetable/fruit farming operations, seafood hatcheries, grow-out ponds, processing plants, ice houses, transportation facilities and vehicles. In addition, I researched current seafood trends and drafted a complete market analysis focused on tilapia, shrimp, pangasius and salmon.

Seafood ice Solutions S.A. de C.V. was set up to introduce antimicrobial ice solutions to the seafood, meats, veggies and fruit industry by conducting field studies in the food sector using organic antimicrobial remedies. I was solely responsible for setting Seafood iCe Solutions, S.A. de C.V. up in Mexico City, Mexico, in it's entirety; including incorporating the company in Mexico City. I procured all the necessary documentation and permits from all the necessary government agencies and NGO's, including but not limited to work visas for foreign employee(s), etc. I implemented all the strategic planning necessary to launch the company in a foreign country, drafted the business and marketing plans, hired the biochemical engineer(s), et al locally. In addition, I pinpointed office locations, negotiated all property leases, equipment purchases and leases, company vehicles, etc., and negotiated import permits for our organic solutions (organic chemistry) with Salud, etc., which were classified as a hazardous materials in its purest form, in order to get them allowed to be legally used on Food and Equipment and Food contact surfces. I developed the concept and set up the entire business infrastructure, integrating a turnkey operation in 3 months.

In 1993, I launched a Mexican Seafood Co (shrimp, farmed), in addition to wild caught seafood products. Owning and operating my own company helped me acquire the skills needed to achieve the goals I set out to learn about the seafood industryFor over 25years, my attention has been focused entirely on the seafood industry, food safety and technology.
