Commercial Operations

Work in the commercial sector provides many opportunities for personal growth. My interest is in the successful integration of scientific and technical knowledge, management practices, and human relations concerns. This is a demanding arena as competition in the marketplace constantly brings new challenges and opportunities. Environmental issues, such as environmental health and sustainability, are special areas in which I have a deep interest.
