Exposed  technical  and  scientific  fraud:

1.)     Debunked the “Great Oil Crisis” and advised my OEM clients to maintain minimal drilling inventories, they

   remain viable entities today,  2.) halted my client’s multi-million dollar investment in a spurious “Super Fuel”

   and averted an international embarrassment,  3.) revealed, by creative thermodynamics analysis, fraudulent

   natural gas heating values reporting by a major utility company – saving my client over a  $1,000,000 per year,

   and the general public much more.                                                  4.) – 16.)  confidential

 

Clients  in  transition

Merged three separate company      Provided technical support / critical        Prepared and implemented a

engineering departments with           documentation / customer confidence    nationwide technical sales program

“problem employees” successfully    for a “to be discontinued” product           for the introduction of foreign

without incident and provided           essential at many environmental             processing equipment resulting in

continual technical support for a       “Super Fund” sites avoiding lawsuits      sales of $ 1,200,000 the first year

myriad of product lines.                    and extended requirements.                   and $ 14,700,000 the second year.
