I have great leadership, communication and people skills. I believe that safety must always come first. I am very self motivated and am at my best when under pressure. After 20 years of working in safety, I conclude that employee involvement in their safety is the key to achieving a great safety program. I have helped lead the Rock Springs Monsanto Coke Calciner Plant to winning 7 Wyoming Governor’s Safety Awards in a row. No other company has achieved this in the history of the award. I truly take safety personally both at home and on the job.
