Bob is a seasoned consultant, educator, supervisor, mentor: a dedicated and professional
engineer with
published results from applying
information solutions in
process engineering designs, startup,
optimization, operation & environmental
stewardship. He's an efficient problem-solver and project leader;
integrating business processes with info. tech. to deploy analysis, process/HSE modeling, geospatial, web
best practices &
collaborative
solutions.
Like so many in refining/petrochemicals/HSE, his career has
paralleled that of
global oil
and gas. Born and educated as a "Kiwi",
he emigrated to the US where he's lived ever since, except for 8 years in the
80's back in NZ teaching process design & working in a $1.2 billion
Synfuels plant.
His life journey as an
adult started in the 1970's with Ph.D. grad school, then Design and Startups;
in 1980's with undergrad Teaching, then Operations; 1990's with R & D,
then Corporate HSE, plus federal consulting 1998-2005; now back doing Refinery
and Upstream HSE Design.
Because of resurgence in demand for clean fuels, refining capacity
and heavy oil projects, Bob was fortunate to be on the design of the first new
US refinery in 30 years, built
alongside the last one. He's also an invited member of "Society
of Industrial Leaders" in refining & petrochemical sector.
Bob enjoys his work, particularly when it involves inter-disciplinary or
intellectual challenges. A key to professional satisfaction has been involvement in technical advocacy of sound science at
API - developing Refinery MACT guidance
- and
PERF, leading Environmental projects & forums.
His life-skills development is also sustained by his professional, technology
and civic association activity, and
by University-level teaching: full-time as Senior Lecturer in 1983-1985,
as Research Adjunct in 2002-2004, and Teaching Adjunct in 2006.
