[About]

Training

Training the younger generation is my passion. I turn four decades of hands-on process safety leadership in refineries, chemical plants, and upstream facilities into engaging, results-driven training.

Every course is taught by me, no junior trainers, using real incidents and proven tactics to help engineers manage hazards, meet regulatory requirements, and keep product safely in the pipe.

Board and Executive Consulting

For six years I functioned as a Corporate Process Safety & Risk Manager, working with C-Suite leadership on high-stakes safety decisions.

Today I deliver that same clarity to you, helping leadership set risk priorities, steer capital to the right HSE projects, and manage regulatory risk with confidence.

Human and Organizational Performance (HOP)

HOP is a modern approach to safety that focuses on understanding why people do what they do, rather than simply blaming individuals when things go wrong. It recognizes that human error is normal and that systems should be designed to account for human variability.
