A Deep Dive into my History

History-Deep Dive

I co-founded a biotech diagnostics company in Little Rock that we took to an IPO on the TSXV. We developed a new pathogen diagnostics platform, which I initially marketed for bacterial detection in the food industry. I later pursued applications in drug development, medical device sterilization, and the energy and biofuel sectors.

My work has focused on FSQA, HACCP processing-specialist activities, biotechnology, bacterial detection in food processing, live-production pathogens, and vaccine efficacy. My HACCP audit and process-validation experience strengthened my work with FSQA pathogen diagnostics, FSQR SaaS analytical software, and connectivity to blockchain.

My food processing and live production experience uniquely positioned me to provide advice for development of multi-hurdle HACCP systems that utilize different technologies because of my interventions experience in Thermal inactivation, Antimicrobials, Probiotics, Bacteriophage, UV, and Ozone. Focused upon pathogen diagnostics and interventions in various food processing segments, protein live production, and animal health. Additional experience in nano technologies, industrial micro, and avian influenza. My experience in nanotechnology emphasized nano-encapsulation of active components in medical, pharma, topical ointments for skin rehabilitation, nutraceutical, and petrochemical applications.

My lithium and brine well comfort stems from my lithium battery experience via contract manufacturing for laptops, Motorola cell phones and Motorola RNSG (military radio) combined with energy sector business development. I initially pursued bacteria detection in Biofuels, O&G microbial induced corrosion (MIC), and found O&G microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) was another application.

Later, I was exposed to the new fracking technologies, because our family has a farm in the Barnett Shale of North Texas. The drilling operation required microbiological testing for sulfur/sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) as corrosive agents in the shale infrastructure. SRB use sulfur as an energy source as they corrode equipment and wreak havoc in the retention ponds. The presence of sulfur species requires “souring” control to protect the production reservoirs from being “soured” and not re-injecting soured well fluids. Later my work in the Nano sector exposed me to nano-encapsulation of active components and fracking proppants opportunities.

I served as Sales Manager at LA Darling, a division of Marmon Retail Services, which was then the world's largest retail merchandising company. I later represented Cliff Price wholesale lines. My sales experience included services and lines sold to Macy's, BCBG, Hallmark, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Ann Taylor, Kohl's, JCP, Wal-Mart, Tesco, Meijer, Dillards, Neiman Marcus, Kroger, and Fresh & Easy, among others.

I help retail-sector companies develop new products and build retail marketing and merchandising systems. My support draws on offshore manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and supply-chain experience, alongside marketing, online marketing, and social media experience.
