I am a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) with two decades of experience leading safety programs across heavy industry, rail operations, and emergency medical services.
At Transtar I managed safety for eight facilities and ~450 employees, coordinated FRA and OSHA compliance, served as the Designated Employer Representative for DOT drug testing, and earned multiple ASLRRA Presidents’ Awards for superior short-line railroad safety performance.
I transformed safety culture at United States Steel Tubular Products and managed comprehensive industrial hygiene and safety programs for large workforces at U.S. Steel, overseeing respiratory protection, asbestos abatement, air monitoring, and extensive training and incident investigation.
