To Whom it May Concern:
I am submitting the following CV with the objective of participating on any AOAC expert
review panels (ERP) dealing with the analysis of metals by ICP-MS in foods, beverages, infant
formula, or supplements.
Brief Summary of Specific Experience in Metals by ICP-MS
I have extensive experience with the use of ICP-MS for the analysis of metals at commercial
testing laboratories, including experience with method development, optimization, and
validation. I have been reviewing ICP-MS data since 1993, and I first started performing ICPMS analyses in 1997. For the past fifteen years I have either been performing ICP-MS analyses
or supervising groups of chemists who were using ICP-MS for the determination of metals in
complex matrices. I have taken several advanced training courses on ICP-MS analysis, including
courses on the use of isotope dilution and interference reduction technologies. I have given
numerous poster and oral presentations and a large number of conferences on a broad range of
topics related to ICP-MS analysis, most recently at the AOAC Annual Meeting.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Brooks Rand Labs, Seattle, WA:
Vice President of Analytical Services and Technical Director  July 2004 – Current
In my current position as Vice President at Brooks Rand, I oversee all operations of the Analytical
Services Division. I am responsible for the division budget (~$3 million), and for ensuring all work is
performed on-time, at the highest level of quality possible, and in a manner that generates a profit for
the company. I oversee and directly participate in business development efforts and assist the company
President in critical company decision-making. I am responsible for selecting and contracting with
vendors, all human resources, and ensuring that all staff who report to me (approximately 25 people)
have the tools and resources required to perform their roles to the best of their abilities. I am
responsible for all aspects of laboratory operations, quality assurance, customer service, finance and
budgeting, facilities management, capitol equipment procurement, employee professional
development, and staff morale.
Frontier Geosciences (now Frontier Global Sciences), Seattle, WA: Many of my positions at
Frontier overlapped or were performed concurrently with other positions; therefore, the timeline below
may seem a little odd. There were times when I filled up to five roles at the same time, making for a
complicated job description. I would be happy to describe any of the positions or the timeline in more
detail upon request.
Vice President of Operations  August 2002 – July 2004
The position of VP Operations was created for me as the company grew to a size where it was deemed
necessary to have one person in charge of all company operations. In this position, all research
scientists, the laboratory manager, the QA Officer, and all administrative staff (a total of 60 FTEs)
reported to me. I was responsible for creating and managing seven separate annual departmental
budgets and all company activities outside of accounting and business development. All decisions
related to IT, HR, QA, facilities, safety, and laboratory management were ultimately my responsibility.
I sought out the best vendors to provide services for Frontier, and negotiated contracts on behalf of the
company. I helped the department managers (which included all of Frontier’s research scientist and the
laboratory manager) develop hiring and business plans, setting goals for revenue and profitability,
helped them to achieve those goals, and I assisted in personnel issues where necessary. On a corporate
level, I have served on Frontier’s Management Committee since 1998, where I have been instrumental
in making company-wide decisions and setting corporate policy. I have been the “go to” person in the
absence of the company president for decision making and check signing. Ask me about my
experience in setting up a trace metals laboratory from scratch in 2004.
Board of Directors and Treasurer  January 2001 – June 2004
I served as one of Frontier’s five Board members since the inception of a real, active Board in 2001
until my most recent term ended in June 2004. I also have served as the Treasurer for Frontier
Geosciences from January 2003 – June 2004.

Human Resources Director  April 2003 – February 2004
The position of HR Director was added to my other VP of Admin duties when this role was relinquish
by Frontier’s President. As HR Director, my responsibilities included all aspects of hiring, evaluations,
and terminations; ensuring that all employees were thoroughly covered by our corporate benefits,
including medical insurance (including selection of appropriate plan), dental insurance, vision
insurance, life insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, and other company benefits and
perks; administration of the company’s 401(k) plan; writing and editing of the employee handbook;
and ensuring that the company met its legal and ethical responsibilities in all areas related to HR.
Vice President of Administration & Analytical Services  March 2001 - August 2002
When this position was created, the oversight of all corporate administration was combined with the
duties of the Laboratory Manager. This included oversight of IT, Safety, QA, Facilities, Office
Management (including reception), and Graphics. Since taking this position (and up until the present
time), I have been instrumental in company-wide business development efforts, including over 20 oral
presentations (with self-prepared PowerPoint presentations) to clients, potential clients, government
agencies, and at technical meetings.
Quality Assurance (QA) Officer  April 2001-November 2001, March 2003-November 2003
I served as interim QA Officer for time periods above when Frontier was between QA Officers. During
both time periods, it was my responsibility to review and edit Frontier’s Quality Assurance Plan and
ensure that the company was following all requirements laid out in the plan. I was also responsible for
keeping our state and NELAC certifications current, review and approval of all SOPs, preparation of
quarterly QA reports, review of all incident reports and corrective action reports and prescribing
additional corrective actions or documentation when needed.
Laboratory Manager  April 1998 - November 2001
My duties as Laboratory Manager included oversight of all aspects of Frontier’s Analytical Laboratory.
This included supervision of all of the groups within the laboratory (trace metals analysis, mercury
analysis, project management, QA, technical data services, shipping & receiving, and bottle washing).
I was responsible for the budgeting and revenue projections for the department, which had as many as
40 FTEs producing as much as $5M in revenue. Ask me about my experience in setting up a total
mercury lab in the rural hills of Peru the summer of 2000.
Project Management Group Leader  August 1999 - August 2001
As the group leader for the Project Management Group, I supervised a group of 5-8 project managers,
while still managing about $1.5M of projects. I was responsible for the hiring, training, and
development of all project coordinators and project managers, as well the approval of all data and final
reports submitted to our clients.

Project Manager  June 1996 - August 2001
While I was still an analyst, I started assuming project management responsibilities, including setting
up projects with clients, sending quotations and proposals, report generation, narrative writing,
speaking with clients on the phone about their results, and invoicing.
Trace Metals Group Leader  December 1996 – April 1998
I was promoted to Group Leader after less than two years with the company. In this position I was
responsible for the management and supervision of the group, which included a staff of up to 6
analysts and laboratory assistants. I made decisions about the purchase of new instrumentation, and
was the lead ICP-MS analyst after this instrument was purchased in 1997. All group scheduling and
training was performed by me, in addition to method development and QA review of all data produced
by the trace metals group. During this time I also gained extensive experience in ultra-clean sample
collection of environmental field samples.
Trace Metals Analyst  July 1995 – December 1996
As one of the founding members of Frontier’s Trace Metals Group, I helped develop new methods for
the analysis of trace metals in environmental samples using GFAAS, HG-AAS, and HG-AFS.

Inorganics Department Supervisor - Conventionals  July 1994 – July 1995
In addition to maintaining many of my analytical responsibilities, I directed a nine-member team and I
was responsible for data validation and thoroughness of all analytical results reports and CLP-style
results packages (including electronic data deliverables) generated by the department. I was an integral
part of overall division management, including hiring, work distribution, and instrument maintenance.
Inorganics Analyst  August 1992 – July 1994
I performed numerous analytical tasks, including anions by IC, mercury by CV-AAS, nutrients and

Dear Sir/Madam:
AOAC holds the reputation of gathering top scientists worldwide to set up the standards of
analytical methods in the food industry. Sharing the same commitment to excellence in analytical
method, we (EPL) are impressed by the broad influence of AOAC, and are looking forward to
contribute our knowledge and expertise to the community.
Currently AOAC is calling for new methods and seeking experts to join the expert review panel
for heavy metal analysis in various foods and beverages. My skills and experiences fortunately
fall into this category. Since 2009 I have developed ICP-MS and ICP-OES/AES methods not
only for heavy metal analyses (As, Se, Co, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, Ni), but also targeting Mo, I, S, and
mineral determinations (Mg, Ca, Mn, P, Fe, Zn, Cu, Na, and K) in a variety of seeds which are
usually the critical sources of our food and where our juices or fruit concentrates come from. The
methods I developed are unique and are excellent in terms of accuracy and precision. I have
resolved the challenges to achieve superb recovery, repeatability and reproducibility for every
difficult matrix, including those with high content of protein and oil. With proven reliability,
robustness and sustainability, all the internal methods have been actively utilized in seeds and
feeds analysis for almost all our international seed customers for about three years now. At
present, the commodity list is expanding by popular requests. In addition to the effectiveness, as
emphasized in AOAC criteria, method safety has always been our top priority in EPL. In the case
of iodine determination, TMAH has been used widely and efficiently as a major dissolution
reagent for about fifteen years. However TMAH poisoning and death was reported recently after
accidental industrial exposure. Paying the attention to the possible toxicity, we decided on
discontinuation of the assay to start a new approach. After investigations and experiments I
successfully replaced TMAH with choline hydroxide, a vitamin derivative. To our knowledge,
this is the first publication of using choline hydroxide in iodine determination with demonstrated
competence in analytical performance in addition to superior method sensitivity and efficiency.
We know how important the “gold standard” is and how much it means to us and to our industry.
I would like to take the opportunity and serve in the heavy metal analysis expert review penal of
the AOAC community. I believe by joining the panel I could help AOAC in recognition of
efficient methods and experienced professionals with my passion on elemental analysis and my
responsibility on food and feed safety.
Sincerely,

Statement of Expertise: ICP-MS Heavy Metals
In 2004 my primary job duties were to install and run heavy metals analyses using ICP-MS and sample
preparation with either the hot-block or microwave digestion units. I was the primary person responsible for
ICP-MS method development and establishment of methods for The Coca-Cola Company. At the time,
heavy metal analysis for all of North and South America was handled in my lab. The sample types ranged
from typical food ingredients to packaging and to plastics. Since the data and most of the samples were trade
secrets, I did not externally publish any papers on ICP-MS methodology. After moving to a new department
in the Quality function, I became the leader of the ICP-MS for that department. This lasted until 2012, when
we transferred the analysis to another Quality group. As of April 2012, I have been the AOAC Stakeholder
Panel committee chairperson for the Heavy Metals Working Group.
