As Vice President of Spear & Lancaster, I provide consultations for companies looking to improve process safety or efficiently implement safety improvement plans. I have over 27 years of working for better safety management, process safety, and incident prevention in a wide range of applications. In my previous experience, I was responsible for leading safety, process safety, and manufacturing production organizations in performance improvement initiatives across chemical, refining, major projects, commissioning/startups, and turnarounds. I’ve worked and lived in many locations inside and outside the United States, including domestic facilities/plants, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, UAE, and North Africa driving organizational improvements.
During my time at Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, I led several safety improvement and program implementation efforts, driving several key success metrics throughout the global enterprise. Prior to joining Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (then known as Phillips Chemical Company) in 2001, I worked for Chicago Bridge & Iron Co., where I met Jerome Spear. After 25 years of friendship, I started working with Jerome at Spear & Lancaster, LLC, where we provide expert safety, process safety, and industrial hygiene (IH) services for companies to protect their people and improve profitability.
I am married to my beautiful, supportive wife, Leticia, and have two wonderful boys, Cody, and Devin. We enjoy spending our time traveling, being with family, being involved with the boy’s baseball, basketball, and soccer events, and are active members of the Church of Christ.
