About
I AM BY TRAINING AND EXPIERIENCE A PHYSICAL ANALYTICAL CHEMIST WITH OVER 40 YEARS IN INDUSTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY MANAGEMENT. AS A RESEARCH SCIENTIST FOR JOHNSON AND JOHNSON I MANAGED
A MEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH DEPT. AFTER 8 YEARS I LEFT AND FORMED MY OWN NJDEP CERIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL
TESTING LABORATORY FOR 35 YEARS. I OBTAINED CERTIFICATIONS IN ALL DRINKING WATER AND WASTEWATER CATAGORIES AS WELL AS SOME SOIL TESTING PARAMETRS. FOR THE PAST 22 YEARS MY AREAS OF EXPERTISE ARE, GC/MS, ICP/MS, ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY, ELECTROCHEMISTRY, AND RECENTLY RADIOCHEMISTRY. I AM ALSO, QAULIFED TO WRITE AND REVIEW ALL SOP'S, LABORATORY DATA FOR ACCURACY, REPORT REVIEWS, AND STANDARD LAB PRACTICES. I SOLD THE LABORATORY (NJDEP #03886) IN 2023 AND SEMI RETIRED. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY EXPIERIENCE AND SERVICES BOTH AS CONSULTANT AND WITNESS IF NEEDED. IN MY POSITION AS BOTH LABOTATORY
MANAGER AND CERTIFIED Q/A OFFICER I HAD TO DEFEND LABORATORY PRACTICE, DATA, CHAIN OF CUSTODYS,
SAMPLING PROCEDURE, AND FINAL REPORTS IN CIVAL COURT A NUMBER OF TIMES. SINCE I AM NO LONGER AN ACTIVE
