Professional Experience

2007-Pres.	Division Manager, Radiation Safety Academy Division, Dade Moeller & Associates. In charge of day-to-day operations for Academy Division training, consulting, and analytical laboratory services. Continues to provide health physics consulting services to numerous government and commercial radioactive materials licensees and contributes to Academy training as a senior faculty member.
1999-2007	Vice President, Senior Health Physicist Faculty and Director of Consulting, Radiation Safety Academy. Health physics consulting and auditing of radiation safety programs for government and industry. Provides instruction in radiation safety officer, basic and advanced radiation safety, and decommissioning training programs. Provides consulting and auditing services to a variety of commercial, state, and federal clients at several large project sites. Performs radiation safety program evaluations for several types of licensees, including biopharmaceutical, biomedical, fixed gauge, portable gauge, and well logging. Prepares license applications and device registration applications for submittal to NRC and Agreement State agencies. Serves as the RSO on sealed source gauge distribution license for an international manufacturer of industrial gauges. He also is a member of a highly qualified team of health physicist evaluating radiation dose to Federal nuclear weapons program workers. Served as an Project / QA manager (1999-2001) providing overall management of the functions for radiation safety and regulatory compliance support contract at the National Institutes of Health. The contract services included radiation safety inspections of over 9,000 research laboratories a year. Directed a staff of 4 health physicists to conduct daily on-site inspections, calibrate over 2,500 radiation survey instruments annually, inspect and leak test over 100 sealed sources and irradiators, inspect the cyclotrons quarterly, operate the hot lab, conduct environmental monitoring program, conduct weekly security inspections, provide incidence response services, prepare samples for analysis in the NIH radioanalytical laboratory, and prepare monthly performance and quality assurance reports to NIH. Managed subcontract with RSO, Inc to perform daily laboratory analyses of swipe samples, provide equipment and supplies, and provide backup staff for the Academy contract.
1990-1999	Senior Health Physicist, Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. Responsible for supervising firm-wide radiation safety at several large project sites, including worker supervision, training, site-specific health and safety plan development and implementation, and associated radiation monitoring activities.
1989-1990	Health Physicist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region. Radiation Branch, Responsible for health physics/worker safety at CERCLA (Superfund) emergency/remedial sites, implemented regional radionuclide NESHAPs program, developed and taught EPA's radioactive mixed-waste-training-course.
1984-1989	Research Assistant, New York University Medical Center, Institute of Environmental Medicine Laboratory of Environmental Studies. Research and also performed RSO's responsibilities for health physics activities and license preparation and implementation.
