    			January, 1996 - Present
I have worked in the NDT industry for 12 years. During this time I have performed non-destructive testing in radiography, magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant, hardness testing (Microdur), positive material identification, ferrite testing and ultrasonic thickness testing.   These various techniques have been applied to pipeline, fabrication piping, vessels, castings (which I have written and implemented the procedures for), railcars and tanks.  Environments include; fabrication shops, shutdowns, plants, and pipelines.  Within these different locations, I have attended all applicable site orientations and followed all procedures to ensure the safety of others and myself. To-date, there has been zero safety incidents or close calls to report.
I currently own and operate a successful non-destructive testing company in Alberta since July, 2002. Prior years were at Western Inspection Ltd. and Canspec.
June, 1984 - 1996
During these years, I worked at various oilfield companies, both contract and full-time, which include the following:
-	Project Quality Control
-	Oilfield Maintenance
-	Computer Operations Manager
-	Bookkeeping
-	Business Administration Manager
