Capability

• Development of technical training programs
• Automation engineering/Software engineering
• Engineering and Mining geophysics
• Research in vibrations or heat transfer

Experience

• 1997 to Present Contract factory automation engineering with Shin Etsu Hondoati P21 Design Team. My work involves testing of vendor tool interfaces and implementation of SECS/GEM standard. Testing of work cell control and station control software operating on an NT network.
• 1996-1997 Designing and developing a technical curriculum under contract for Shin Etsu Hondoati, America. The curriculum covers all aspects of silicon wafer manufacturing.
• 1993-1996 Professor in physics and engineering at Laramie County Community College, Cheyenne, Wyoming. Adjunct instructor in earth sciences at University of Northern Colorado. I taught physics, meteorology, engineering computing, statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, oceanography, and geology.
• 1986-1993 CEO, Diamond-Anvil Corp., Cheyenne, Wyoming. Technical contractor providing services in earth sciences and general software development. Clients included Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Co., AMAX, Tencor Instruments, Honeywell TID, Coastal Chemical, Amoco Minerals, Meridian Oil, and Cyprus Industrial Minerals. I have managed project budgets as large as $600,000 per year. I was adjunct at several colleges in the area part-time, teaching finite mathematics, probability and statistics, and oceanography.
• 1983-1986 I owned a geophysical consulting firm with Mr. Arthur L. Lange (Karst Geophysics, Inc., Golden, CO). We provided earth sciences consulting to companies such as AMAX, Consolidated Goldfields Mining, the U.S. Navy, and others. I taught computer science part-time at Regis College, Denver, CO.
• 1981-1982 Geophysicist at Earth Technology Corp. (Fugro, BV) in Long Beach, California. I developed geophysical software, and performed deep underground HVAC studies.
• 1978-1981 The bulk of this time was spent on my Ph.D. Research. However, I supported myself with geophysical and engineering consulting work. Clients included Weidlinger Associates, TerraTek Inc., and others.
• 1975-1978 The bulk of this time was spent working on an M. Sc. degree (1976-1978). However, I supported myself as a groundwater hydrologist with the U.S.G.S. Water Resources Division (GS-7).
• 1975-1976 (Summers only). NSF fellowships to design and build molecular nitrogen lasers and supporting hardware for a solid state physics laboratory.

Education

• Ph.D. 1982. University of Utah. Geophysics. Dissertation topic: Solid/fluid mechanics and heat transfer applied to problems in solid earth physics.

• M.Sc. 1978. University of Utah. Geophysics. Thesis topic: Heat transfer by combined conduction and convection in the subsurface.

• B.Sc. 1975. Montana State University. Physics. Thesis topic: The construction of molecular nitrogen lasers.

• Member of APS and AAAS.
• Excellence in teaching award for engineering and physics in 1996.
• Technical reviewer for geophysical publications.
• Instructor for Graduate Builders Institute (NAHB).
• Appointed to SSC Blue Ribbon Task Force by Wyoming Governor Michael Sullivan in 1987.
