Interests

My professional interest remains with developing methodologies that support growing a safety positive culture leveraging  the synergy of Compliance Based, Behavior Based and People Based safety management systems and developing Predictive Accident Prevention tools using leading indicators.

Personally, my current passion is hobby machining. But I temper this passion with meditation practice and reading books. I enjoy  playing musical instruments, but they are more of a credit to me then the other way around. I collect and make art in various mediums, including art knives, digital 3D modeling and traditional media.
