About
Controls Engineer
Lincoln City, OR, United States
With over 25 years of hands-on experience across Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Pulp & Paper, and Water/Wastewater Treatment, I provide senior-level engineering support without the overhead of a large firm. My background includes:
• PLC/PAC programming — Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Opto22, GE Fanuc, and Schneider Modicon
• DCS engineering — Honeywell Experion, Emerson DeltaV, and ABB 800xA/MOD300
• Instrumentation SME services — loop sheets, P&IDs, SIS support, HAZOP/LOPA
• SCADA/HMI development — Inductive Automation Ignition, Wonderware
• Controls engineering design packages from FEED through commissioning
I've served as Instrumentation Subject Matter Expert at Phillips 66, CF Industries, and Cambrian Innovation, and I bring that same depth of expertise to every engagement — whether it's a greenfield design, a legacy migration, or ongoing project support.
I'd welcome the opportunity to learn more about your upcoming projects and discuss how High Tide Automation can support your team. I've attached a brief overview of our services for your reference.

My Values And Ethics
Safety & Reliability First
Every system I design is built with safety as the foundation. With over 20 years of experience in industrial control environments from ammonia plants to petrochemical facilities I understand that reliable automation is not optional. I hold myself to rigorous standards, including participation in HAZOP and LOPA studies, adherence to OSHA programs, and compliance with ICS cybersecurity best practices.
Commitment to Craftsmanship
I take pride in delivering work that is thorough, precise, and built to last. Whether designing a PCB from scratch, developing HMI graphics, or migrating a legacy control system, I approach every task with the same attention to detail. I believe that quality engineering speaks for itself through systems that perform consistently and require minimal intervention.
Innovation with Purpose
I am driven to find better solutions, not for novelty's sake, but because better technology improves safety, efficiency, and outcomes. From integrating IIoT connectivity into fuel cell research to automating pilot-scale laboratory units with Raspberry Pi interfaces, I embrace emerging tools when they deliver real, measurable value.
Collaboration & Respect
Great automation solutions are never built in isolation. I have spent my career working alongside scientists, operators, IT professionals, and maintenance teams, and I believe that the best outcomes come from listening as much as leading. I bring transparency, clear communication, and mutual respect to every project and team I am part of.
Integrity in Every Engagement
I represent my capabilities honestly, set realistic expectations, and follow through on commitments. Clients and colleagues can trust that my assessments reflect sound engineering judgment, not what is easiest or most convenient to say.
