SUMMARY: An enthusiastic professional chemist with experience in many diverse
areas of analytical chemistry. Major strengths in instrumental analysis including: GC,
GC/MS, HPLC, IC, ICP and AA, and classical wet inorganic techniques. Considered an
Expert Chromatographer. Thirty years of experience in the following fields. Inorganic
material analysis in the area of rocket motor development. Environmental testing in both
the organic and inorganic areas. Work in this area including personnel supervision,
project management of lab scale treatability studies, method development, and large scale
special projects. Performed food analysis in the area of pesticide detection and
nutritional labeling. Worked in the area of oil exploration as primarily a GC Chemist.
My final position has involved being a Forensic chemist for the state of WY. Has
experience in QA/QC issues including EPA, GLP protocols, and Forensics.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
WYOMING STATE CRIME LABORATORY, Cheyenne, WY 2008- Present
Senior Forensic Chemist, Completed all in-house training in the areas of Marijuana,
Amphetamines, Cocaine, Pharmaceutical products, and hallucinogenics Performs
analysis on a broad range of evidence for the presence of controlled substances. Has
worked with all the new drugs like Spice, Bathsalts, Fentynal, ETC. Was called on to
help maintain the instrumentation and trouble shoot any analytical problems.
ESN ROCKY MOUNTAIN ANALYTICAL, Golden, CO 2006-2007
Senior Chemist, Work involved primarily Organic analysis of soils for Oil exploration.
Hydrocarbon speciation involved GC's with FID/PID detectors. GC/MS was used for
further characterization. Oversaw pesticide analysis involving 8270 and 8080
(organochloride PCB's). Lab performed a wide range of Tests.
WARREN ANALYTICAL LABS, Greeley, CO 2003- 2005
Technical Director/Senior Chemist Work involved Food Testing for primarily
nutritional content. In charge of over seeing all work in analytical section.
Instrumentation includes GC/MS, GC, HPLC, AA and Graphite furnace, Etc.. Pesticide
Analysis in many difficult food matrices was performed. Was involved with setting up a
400 component GC/MS screen for sugar and other food.
2. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, Jefferson, AR. 2002-2003
Pesticide Food Chemist, Work involved testing a wide variety of food items for
pesticide residues. Qualitative identification of hundreds of pesticides was involved.
Upon identification quantitation is achieved with GC (Varian, HP, Agilent),
HPLC(Agilent), or GC/MS (Agilent 5973). Was the GC/MS specialist at my site.
Very difficult food samples were prepared with complex sample preparation procedures.
• Projects involved FDA accreditation with A2LA.
• Miniaturization of sample preps for solvent savings.
• Continued development of SIMS GC/MS work on Pesticides.
NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY, S.W.A.T. Lab, Las Cruces 1994-2002
Organic Section Supervisor, Was responsible for the Southern NM organic analysis
section of the state drinking water testing program. Supervised a staff of eight chemists
on EPA 500 series drinking water methods. Instrumentation included GC's with ECD,
FID, PID, and Hall detectors, two HPLC's (fluorescence and UV/VIS diode array), a
LC/MS, and two Quadrapole (Agilent) Mass Spectrometers plus a Ion Trap. Was
involved in various analytical projects campus wide.
• SWAT lab was a fully functional facility serving primarily the SNM agricultural
community. Analysis included many EPA 200, 500, 600, SW846 methods.
• Instrumentation in addition to above included: 2 ICP’s, ICP/MS, TOC, FIA, ISE,
and a lot of classical wet chemistry (CN, NO3, etc.)
• Was instrumental in establishing QA/QC program for accreditation.
LOCKHEED NASA, White Sands Test Facility, Las Cruces 1992-1994
Senior Scientist, Responsibilities involved analytical testing of a diverse range of
materials for the Space Program. Was in charge of metals analysis by ICP and AA
techniques. Oversaw staff members involved in many different techniques. Was
responsible for training and data review.
• As a special project chemist was involved in Mercury analysis (cold vapor) and
off gas (air sampling and analysis) testing for the NAVY.
• Managed method development on special projects which included Solid Phase
Extraction applications.
• One large project involved the investigation of water and light organics
(methanol, ACN, etc.) as solvents for clean room parts rinsing.
• Performed and managed rocket fuel analysis by HPLC (reverse and normal phase)
with UV/VIS and Electrochemical detection.
• Ion Chromatography work involved application of new solid state ion suppressors
for anion and cations. Had conductivity plus UV/VIS detectors.
• Additional techniques included TOC, Polarography, and GC with FID, NPD, and
MS detectors
