A Proven Solution for High Consequence Safety Leadership

Organizations don't hire an EHS executive hoping he'll figure it out under pressure. They hire someone who already has. For 37+ years, across the highest stakes federal, energy, and industrial programs in the country, that's the leader I've been. What follows isn't a history lesson. It's evidence of what I can be trusted to deliver next, wherever the challenge takes me.

Where I solve problems

Four Questions Hiring Leaders Ask, Answered

"Can this person be trusted with a program that simply cannot fail?"

I oversaw safety for the $828.8M Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Energy Savings Performance Contract, the largest ESPC in U.S. Government history, a three year program with zero room for error, coordinated across contractor partners and all five branches of the U.S. military.

"Can this person execute flawlessly under extreme operational risk?"

I personally planned and oversaw 100+ helicopter crane lifts at a U.S. Government manufacturing facility, completed over a single holiday weekend to avoid disrupting operations, without a single safety incident.

"Can this person build a safety culture from the ground up, fast?"

On a roughly $1B Mortenson construction project, I implemented a Zero Injury Program and authored a new air quality policy that earned VP approval, running the site injury free across approximately 27,000 man hours.

"Can this person scale across complex, multi site operations?"

I've led EHS across 5 profit centers and 10 distribution locations at Valspar, 35+ domestic and international projects at Siemens, and a 1,500 worker pipeline program spanning three construction spreads.

This isn't a record of what I once did. It's proof of what I can be trusted to do again, for whatever comes next.
