I leverage the learnings of my 24-year career in the pharmaceutical industry to teach the essential scientific and technical concepts at a level appropriate for the unique needs of each client. I want to dispel the idea that colloid science is complicated, too academic, and challenging to implement. I know that by doing so, my clients will save time and money, and improve the robustness of their products. I apply the skills I developed learning colloid science (my formal discipline) to the resolution of problems in unrelated areas. I use critical visual observation of physical products, processes, and datasets to identify patterns that others fail to see. Such assessment brings about a rapid and inexpensive resolution to complex and costly problems.

I can assist you with developing/designing/validating chemical processes, chemical equipment choice, solving current process problems, evaluating toll manufacturers, and imparting knowledge of chemical and engineering principles to your employees. My experience in specialty chemical pilot plants along with manufacturing has provided me hands-on problem solving opportunities and the knowledge gained from solving those opportunities. I have kept a close understanding of the chemistry's that I engineered for and I bring that blending of chemistry with engineering into all my work.
