I have a Ph.D. and M.S. in radiation health physics and environmental radiation protection (Radioecology). My undergraduate is pre-med. I have worked in this field since 1973. I am a former Health Physics Society (HPS) Board Member, am an HPS Fellow Emeritus. I currently own an environmental and nuclear safety consulting firm. We provide training nationally and internationally. I am a registered IAEA (International Atomic Energy Authority) expert. I served on the State of New Mexico Radiation Technical Advisory Council for 20 years providing advice and technical support on radiation safety, health effects, regulations, radiation risk, and related topics including transportation of radioactive materials and radioactive waste management. I was a USA Delegate to the IRPA (International Radiation Protection Association) for 10-years. I am an R&D 100 Award winner and have worked in international nonproliferation programs. I have worked in environmental monitoring, radioactive waste operations, education programs, radiation measurements (dosimetry), security assessments and related activities. I was an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico in the areas of radiation protection engineering and radioactive waste management. I also taught biology at the Southwest Indian Polytheistic Institute (SIPI). I recently worked with New Mexico Tech University to develop and conduct a "Comprehensive Radiation Safety Training Course" which was taught to senior Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority Staff with excellent results. We taught them to respond appropriately to radioactive sources that are lost. Medical radiation sources were a particular focus, since they have caused and continue to create the world's most significant radiation accidents considering immediate loss of life, excepting Chernobyl.
