I apply lean manufacturing principles to the management of environmental activities for all US Elanco facilities. This is accomplished by using critical thinking to enable behavioral changes to streamline workflows. I apply my mechanical and chemical engineering skills in the daily operation, design, and startup of process equipment. I manage a comprehensive air permitting program with emphasize on environmental equipment, dry materials processing equipment, and boilers. Successfully applied for and obtained flexible permits and plantwide applicability permits, that are rarely issued by the EPA, to enable a streamlined change control process for Elanco. Also RCRA and DOT certified. Experienced in all Environmental reporting (EPCRA, RCRA, DMR, Title V, etc.). I balance sustainability, cost, environmental impact, and risk to determine the optimal robustness of compliance programs.
