He was the industrial safety director at the naval shipyard in Hawaii, the USDOL OSHA Area Director in the Pacific, the Deputy ES&H Director for a contractor at the Nevada Test Site, and an independent consultant for the last 20 plus years.
In the early 1990s as the OSHA Area Director in the Pacific he managed the challenges in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas. The undesirable and unsafe conditions of the garment factories and the high fatality rates in the construction industry in Guam were the major challenges. This experience provided insight to the OSHA failures of high numbers of inspections, citations and penalties to cause change in the workplace environment. Change can only occur with the cooperation and coordination with many disciplines and industry leaders.view less
