Chris Peterson
@chrispeterson1
Laboratory technician and operations professional leveraging analytics to drive soil health outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a lab technician and operational problem-solver with comprehensive experience in soil and botanical analysis. In my current role, I run high-volume soil respiration testing, execute XRF analysis, perform ion chromatography on water samples, and manage Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) testing to support practical farm management decisions.
I also focus on efficiency by optimizing testing and lab workflows—improving XRF sample preparation time without sacrificing data accuracy. Beyond lab work, I engineer and prototype specialized components using 3D printing to streamline operations and reduce material expenditures, while creating photo/video content for marketing and educational programs.
Earlier roles strengthened my ability to troubleshoot systems, manage databases, and deliver excellent customer support. I’ve led and mentored teams, built process improvements and data reporting frameworks, and used tools like Salesforce and QuickBase to help teams perform consistently.
