My goal is to utilize my technical and managerial experience for the long-term
growth of a technology driven organization. I would like to advance my career
by progressing to the next level of responsibility, with no geographic restrictions
on being relocated for a new opportunity.
The focus of my career has been the application of modern technology to industrial
processes. My formal education has been in the physical sciences, culminating
in a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Iowa State University. Undergraduate
degrees are from York College (A.S., Science) and Harding College (B.S., Chemistry).
My professional career has centered on the application of modern and classical
analytical chemistry techniques to developing new products for the chemical
industry. During my 14 years in Ethyl Corporation’s R&D Department,
my work established a solid foundation of accomplishments in both the Analytical
Research & Services group and in the subsequent assignments in New Product
Development and Planning & Analysis groups.
Success in forming a consulting company, GREEN, Inc. (Goff Research Enterprises and Equipment Network), enabled me to bridge to a position with General Engineering Laboratories. Both General Engineering Laboratories and the Lithium Division of FMC went through restructuring and workforce reductions. Experience with these companies greatly enhanced my career by giving me the opportunity to demonstrate technical leadership and project management skills while making significant contributions to environmental and international projects.
My experience with General Engineering Laboratories enabled me to obtain a position with Westvaco, a pulp and paper company. This gave me a great introduction to wood pulp and paper technologies and provided the opportunity to complete a major project coordinating a corporate-wide dioxin monitoring program. This seemed like a good opportunity to remain in the Charleston area, but Westvaco was not able to provide long-term employment. GREEN, Inc. again provided a consulting bridge to the opportunity with the Lithium Division of FMC.
These changes have presented me with unique career growth opportunities -- both to learn new technologies and to provide technical leadership in team environments. Rewarding experiences were gained managing an environmental lab group for Duke Energy. In 2001 an opportunity opened up to join Halliburton Energy Services / Baroid Drilling Fluids as a Principal Technical Professional based in Denver, CO. We led the market in the introduction of innovative high performance polymer based drilling fluids systems that realized significant savings of time and rig expense for several basins in the Rockies. A change in management gave me the opportunity to develop a new regional laboratory with sophisticated instrumentation supporting both drilling fluid and cementing product service lines for Halliburton. Subsequent changes in management have given me a new opportunity to seek a challenging position that can appropriately utilize my varied and diverse experiences and benefit from my proven record of accomplishments.
