About Me

The mission of R-Squared is to discuss critical issues for modern society: Energy and the Environment. My career has been devoted to energy issues. (See my resume for specifics). I have worked on cellulosic ethanol, butanol production, oil refining, natural gas production, and gas-to-liquids (GTL). I grew up in Oklahoma, and received my Master's in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University. I am currently employed as the Engineering Director for Accsys Technologies.
