To obtain a challenging Analyzer Specialist position in a high quality petrochemicals environment where my resourceful experience and academic skills will add value to organizational operations.

• While working as a Customer Service Associate at Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse between 1998-2000, I received over 150 personal hand written letter to the store manager from customers stating the service they received from me.

• In 1999, I carried a 4.0 grade average throughout my first 3 session in HVAC/R diploma while working full time at Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse and part-time with two electrical contractors Mr. Comfort and "Let there be Light".

• While attending college to receive a Diploma in HVAC/R two of my project were retired due to outstanding content.

• Less than 6 months after I completed my electrical apprenticeship I received a foreman letter to work for Newtron Heat Trace to finish the DHT unit at Husky Energy Refinery in Lima, Ohio

• In 2009, I meet with the Maintenance Director at Husky Energy to outline a online course with ISA work elements. The Maintenance director accepted the ideal and the resolved were 100% of the newly hired instrument tech passed a exam that has a 45% passing rate.

• Within 2.5 years of completing my electrical apprenticeship I had received the following licenses or certifications: Master Electrician West Virginia License, Washington State Electrical License, State of Ohio Electrical Contractor License, Electrical Safety Inspector License, ISA CCST Level 1, ISA CCST Level 2, NICET Instrumentation Level 1, EPRI Instrumentation Class A, NICET Fire Alarm Level 1 & 2.

• The ISA courses I instructed between 2008 to 2012 I had over a 65% passing rate compared to ISA 45% rate after student took ISA CCST Level 1 Review Courses.

• In 2010, a flow transmitter failed on one of our Boiler at the refinery during Thanksgiving weekend. There were no replacement parts ordered for newly commissioned Boiler. After notifying the instrument supervisor that I had a spare Multi Variable transmitter in my garage. He approved the usage. A fellow worker and I were able to installed the transmitter. Which resulted in operation being able to control in auto.

• In 2011, Passed NICET Instrumentation Level 3 Exams

• In 2012, I passed both ISA CCST Level 3 and NICET Instrumentation Level 4 There were less than 350 ISA CCST Level 3 in the world in 2012 & 20 NICET Instrumentation Level 4 in the country.)

• In 2012, was offer a opportunity from ISA to help with the creation of the new revised ISA CCST Level 3 exam.

• In 2013, I wrote and information the analyzer supervisor of an report which consists over 150 pages. The subject matter was the distribution of electrical power to CEMS and process analyzer buildings. In this report, I uncovered excessive voltage drop from the main feeder coming the sub station, premature failure of a/c compressors and contactor, premature failure of multi components, devices and the affect of ambient temperature had on the equipment in the condition building.

• Between 2014 and 2020, I group leader and coordinated over $50 millions in various analyzers and CEMS projects at Husky Energy in Lima, Ohio

• In 2017, I did research on our O2 TDL Analyzers located in the Southside of the plant on a furnace in the refinery. I found multiple issues that affect our analysis reading. These issues were solved by winterizing the equipment.

• In 2018, I suggest to the analyzer supervisor we winterized the CEMS equipment in the FCC unit. The resulted were instantaneous increase reliability, and reduced downtime.

• In 2018, I created and coordinate the 12 pack bottle cylinder project in various locations throughout the refinery. This created cost saving and increased analyzers reliability.

• In 2018, I design and rebuild, two environmental sample system on the Northside of the plant which eliminated downtime, increase reliability, and solved the erratic output reading by the equipment.

• In 2018, I researched and found an alternatives method to reduced downtime on our Flare Analyzer. This research consists of working with several service technicians at Extrel Mass Spectrometry. The upgrade transfer tube reduced downtime which allows the analyzer to comply with our Clean Air permit. The research and the newly installed component were used to fulfill a consent decree with the EPA.

• In 2018, I explained to the Analyzer Supervisor how to reduced and remove the excess water that was send to the Flare Analyzer doing startup. This idea led to the replacement of the all Flare analyzer sample system with new modifications and reduce downtime greatly.

• In 2018, after two Analyzer Contractors were expose to H2S while making rounds on our environmental equipment. I explained to the Analyzer Supervisor of safeguard that would avoid this issue in the future.

• In 2018, I suggest to the analyzer supervisor we winterized the CEMS equipment in the FCC unit. The resulted were instantaneous increase reliability, and reduced downtime.

• In 2019, I fixed and found the root cause to one of our Fuel Gas CEMS Analyzer. This analyzer was reading erratic for months and I was able to fixed it in one day.

• In 2020, I design a calibration gas saving method to reduce cost and product usage on our Flare Analyzer System.

• In September of 2021, I wrote a 2-3 page report on pattern of failure on our equipment on the Southside of the plant. The trends shows this issue start late 2018. The root cause was found when I compare similar issue in 2014-2016 in other area of the plant.

• In October of 2021, I wrote a 5-8 page report on startup issues we were having with the Northside of the plant. This issue consist of not properly maintaining the correct Air/Fuel Gas Ratio. The report cause a MOC to happen, and was the guideline toward solving a issues that plague the equipment for over 30 years.

• In 2021, after reviewing 3 million data points, 1000 emails, 2000 pictures, and multiple conversations with experts in the analyzer field. I was able to determine the root cause to the failure to all of our Flare CEMS Analyzers between September 2020 and March of 2021.

• In April of 2022, I instructed 5 year apprentice electricians at the local union hall. The subject matter was a basic course of instrumentation which included specialized training in working in the Petrochemical industry.

• In July of 2022, I reported and repair the root cause of a fire that happen at the analyzer building 2 month earlier. The analyzer had stay online after the Fire Hazard. I study and review previous incident that happen in the 14 years to determine the cause.

• In September of 2022, I took and passed the EPRI Instrumentation Class A Exam again with less than 3 hour preparing and haven't work as an instrument technician since 2012

• To end my list of accomplishments: every vendor, manufacturer, or training instructor who had the experience to have a one on one conversation while I was employed at Husky Refinery in Lima, Ohio has offer me a job to work for their organization due to my professionalism, safety awareness, integrity, product knowledge, process understanding and my ability to solve root cause analysis.

• Extra-Curricular
• Between 2010 - 2012 I taught 3 session of instrumentation to Journeyman Electrician in local 32 to prepare them for the ISA Exam.

• In 2013, I wrote a report that contain over 150 pages on the distribution of electrical power to CEMS and process analyzer buildings throughout the plant. This report led to future installation changes that were illustrated in my findings. These findings included the installment of the wrong electrical wire size, improper calculation of derating electrical wire when more than four carrying conductor are used, the used of transformer to reduce feeder electrical wire sized, and etc. The conclusion to this project was the cost saving on the initial construction phase on all future projects on CEMS and process analyzers, reliability, downtime, and the reduction of parts change out decrease, and energy saving due to oversized branch circuit electrical wire to factor in heat loss.

• From 2014 to 2015, I installed, designed, commissioned, and loop check five Continuous CEMS Analyzers and two gas chromatograph in various area of the refinery as part of the redundant CEMS project.

• In 2015 and 2016, I help install, design, and commissioned two Mass Spectrometry analyzer on the LIU Flare. I also decommission six gas chromatograph (H2S, Total Sulfur, BTU) in the same area. This included solving a root cause issue that allow

• In 2015, I commission two Mass Spectrometry analyzer on the SRU unit. These analyzers were used for flare analysis. I also terminated the two 16 port valve used for fragmentation, sensitivity, calibration, and process gas. 2 Mass Spec at North Side Flare Termination of Calibration/Sample tubing to Analyzer Termination of 16 1/16" tubing to Valco Valve, 6 months, 14, Group Leader/Designer/Electrician/Analyzer Specialist Redundant

• In 2015, I commission two Mass Spectrometry analyzer on the FCC unit. These analyzers were used for flare analysis. I also terminated the two 16 port valve used for fragmentation, sensitivity, calibration, and process gas. Calibration/Sample tubing to Analyzer Termination of 16 1/16" tubing to In 2015.

• In 2017, I created a project which consist of rearranging all the O2's in the refinery. This project greatly improve startup operation of the furnace by increase safety and reliability.

• In 2017, I created a project which consist of rearranging the pH analyzer in the Aromatic unit which led to increase reliability.

• In 2017, I was part of a team to help set and meet environmental consent decree. My expertise of gas chromatography , basic chemistry, operation usage, and basic understanding of environmental law stop us from making costly mistake in designing and maintaining our environmental analyzers. My involvement in this project led to a smooth transition to the new consent decree and reduce to complicacy of our new sample system, analysis, analyzer method, analyzer system, calibration gas, and etc.

• In 2018, I modified our fuel gas sample system which reduced our respond time, increased reliability, while allow the sample to stay in gas phase by removing condensation with the newly install coalescing filter. This solution solve a problem that plague the analysis reading since the analyzer was originally installed.

• Between 2018 and 2019, I installed, designed, commissioned, and loop check three Continuous CEMS Analyzers and four gas chromatograph in various area of the refinery as part of the redundant CEMS project.

• In 2018, I develop, research, and build the 12 Pack Changeover bottle cylinder project. This project increase the reliability to whole refinery, process G.C. analyzers, and CEMS Allow technicians to pick up new job duties and reduce the cost for labors and transportation by 35% or more. After 2 years we should have a surplus of $15,000 or more in savings per year per Installment.

• In 2018, I presenting a idea to the Analyzer Engineer to install both Primary and Secondary CEMS Analyzer using the same wall space which was different from the originally drawing. This modification would give us the ability to install both analyzers at the same and allow space from the future new BTU analyzer. The other changes that were made were update to the electrical service, hvac unit and sample probe placement. These changes saved us downtime on our environmental equipment during construction. While increasing uptime

• In 2018, I research our Mass Spec Flare Analyzers and discovered an alternatives method in transferring the sample to the equipment once the sample was pass the downstream side to the sample system. This alternatives method reduced downtime, increased reliability, and reduced cost saving.

• In 2018, I create a project for the main furnace in the refinery. This project consist of the root cause findings that took place the last 2 years. The cost of this project was less than 300% cheaper compare to the alternate ideas with more reliability. Once the project was complete it allow operation to find additional problem with the furnace since the analyzer reading was accurate and stable.

• In 2018, I design, commission, and group lead the installation of an new Secondary So2/O2 CEMS Analyzer. This project require taking the existing equipment offline which accumulated downtime. By modifying the installment of the new equipment location I was able to reduce days of downtime. The modified installment will allow the Primary CEMS analyzer project to be install with no downtime due to the changes I made 5+ years in advances.

• In 2018, While installing the new Secondary SO2/O2 CEMS Analyzer I installed two more project in the same area. I design, commission, and group lead the relocation installation of an Hydrogen and Flow Analyzer. The Hydrogen analyzer was mounted on the east wall with a improve sample system. The Flow Analyzer was mount outside of the building with heater to maintain operating temperature. Both project were challenging due to the limited wall space and the downtime that could be accumulated being essential operation and environmental equipment. I also started to incorporate new terminating idea for the sample line and sample probe on this job.

• In 2018, I notice the assigned analyzer technician was having troubling maintaining the CEMS in his area of responsible which led to increased usage of ammonia. This created a project to setup the secondary analyzer CEMS to be able to go into control mode. This gave operation the abilities to switch between the Primary and Secondary as a control point led which to reduced operational cost and increase reliability.

• In 2018, I create an idea which led to the Flare Blowback Project. The idea, started by reaching out to our analyzer manufacturer. This led to a new method to transfer the sample to the equipment. The next step, was using the data from an previous shutdown (2016) which shows a increase of steam being send to the flare during shutdown. Afterwards, I created a misdirection method by turning the mass spec system into a batch system. These idea greatly reduce downtime on our flare equipment.

• In 2020, I research our new scrubber analyzer and compare it to other installment with the same measurement. I found that our sample system was design incorrectly. This founding led to reduce downtime and increase reliability.

• In 2021, I research the Northside Furnace O2's and found that operation was having trouble controlling the air/fuel ratio during startup. I wrote a 6 page report of my finding which create the rearranging project of the Northside Furnace O2's. This problem had affect startup for over 38 years. After the project, was finish this eliminated any O2's problems that was a issue in the past.
