ith one B) for our class and gave a little speech at graduation with a little slam of Mr. Dexter. Workplace I started working for Bechtel Engineering right out of college. I worked on a variety of projects with a variety of roles ( systems engineer, junior project engineer, process engineer). Some of the more interesting assignments included: in plant process support for an ethylene unit, field contact for control upgrade in Institute, WV facility, and a crude vacuum column upgrade in Cheveron's Salt Lake City Refinery (interesting more for the 4 month stay in the Embassy Suites). During my 13 years with Bechtel, I was sub contracted out to Union Carbide Corporation over 10 years. Needless to say, I was highly regarded with in Union Carbide and joined them in 1999. Shortly afterwords, the merger with Dow Chemical was announced. In 2000 I was asked to help start-up a 1.4 billion dollar facility on the west coast of Malaysia. During my assignment there, the merger was finalized and I became a Dow employee. Upon returning to the United States at the end of 2001, I returned to process engineering work. I am currently working on a 2.4 billion dollar chemical complex that will be built in Kuwait in 2007. I am also registered Professional Engineer of Chemical Engineering in the State of West Virginia.
