After 15 years of teaching Biology, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Geology & Physical Science, a move was made to the private sector. There I was fortunate to apply my experiences in the sciences and establishing testing laboratory facilities for a Fortune 250 company, Baxter Healthcare. Toxicology, Microbiology, Wet and Electronic Chemistry labs were the focus as a Quality Laboratory Manager. Boston Scientific, another Fortune 500 company provides minimally invasive medical devices to hospitals an physicians. At Essilor of America, Dallas, Texas, I managed to a surfacing laboratory in manufacturing optics for the Optometrists.

I enjoy most family, grandchildren, sports, flying, any form of racing...... Speed in general.... Life is the only thing I want to slow down.
