Founder and head of research at a company focused on finding solutions for reducing the release of methane into the environment from human and natural sources. This involves researching the microbes that digest methane naturally and optimizing them so that they may be deployed into the natural environment to reduce methane in the atmosphere.

I worked as a Bioengineering Researcher helping to develop new Medical Devices and Human Cell Tissue Products. My work helps in the development of new IP and applications for patents. I have also written white papers on my research for use in marketing new products. I have worked on medical devices in all phases of development and implementation into manufacturing.

I worked as a bioengineering research assistant in a molecular biology lab studying the disease of pulmonary hypertension (PH). My work involved taking standard biology research techniques, taking the results obtained pertaining to PH and tying them to novel bioengineering research methods. I used standard molecular biology research techniques such as cell culture, western blots, PCR, cell isolation, immunofluorescent staining, light microscopy, epifluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and animal models. I also worked with standard bioengineering techniques such as, mechanical strength testing, polymer design, microfluidics, DICOM image analysis, CAD design, rapid prototyping, statistical analysis, finite element analysis simulation and programming. I worked to develop novel techniques in the areas of real time cell tracking, tissue decellularization, 3D cell culturing, vascular permeability testing, and automated image analysis. I presented my results and adapted them personally for journal publication.

I served as a payed mentor and tutor to undergraduate students in the Bioengineering department at the University of Colorado Denver. This involved helping students understand new concepts in a wide range of science areas. I also helped students to develop good study and time management techniques.

I worked at an aseptic site producing human stem cell, machined bone and tendon products for transplantation. This involved a wide range of work with engineering and bio-medical equipment to properly prepare tissue. Worked on the production of cutting edge products.

I worked as a volunteer in the Interstitial Lung Disease Program at National Jewish Health organizing and prepping samples for a large scale clinical study to for the first time classify the etiology of Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis.

I worked as a raft guide and trip leader responsible for the safety of customer and other guides. I led trips of up to 60 customers through white water rapids and was responsible for their safety. I had to provide first aid and CPR experience in case of accident.
