Profession:

I am employed by PSG/SARCOM inc. as a Support Analyst contractor to the Westinghouse Information Systems Customer Service Support Center in the Westinghouse building in downtown Pittsburgh.

I was previously (1995-1998) employed as an analytical chemist working for Clean Air Vehicle Technology Center, Inc.-- a government contractor. CAVTC is closely associated with Bevilacqua-Knight, Inc. Most recently I was working in USEPA's Source Apportionment and Characterization Branch Laboratory in Research Triangle Park, NC. I analyzed vehicle emissions by GC/FID, and also worked with Remote Sensing Devices.

Before September, 1995, when CAVTC won the contract I work under, I worked for ManTech Environmental Technology, Inc. for almost exactly five years. For the first four of them I worked on offsite contracts attached to USEPA's Environmental Monitoring and Standards Laboratory in Cincinnati.I was in RTP analyzing compounds in the US EPA Repository of Toxic and Hazardous materials and also the Quality Assurance Materials Bank by HPLC/UV, HPLC/RI, GC/FID, GC/MSD, etc. I also performed similar work for the US Army Environmental Center and US DOD.

I co-wrote a paper related to my work for USAEC, but at last check it was still hung up in bureaucratic review. A more recent paper that has been published is on performance verification of automobile exhaust sampling systems. Additional to my analytical duties, I also wrote written many data reduction spreadsheets, built a multimedia database system, and maintained a variety of equipment from antique analytical hardware to current-technology desktop micros. See my IntelliMatch generated structured resume for details if you're so inclined.


So what do I do for fun?
