My Services

Surface preparation consulting that actually holds up.

Most surface prep failures are preventable. Bad specifications, ambiguous requirements, and gaps between what's written and what gets executed in the field; these are the problems I solve. I work with asset owners, contractors, and product manufacturers to get the spec right, the execution right, and the outcome right.

Asset Owners

Clear, enforceable specifications built around your asset's actual service environment…not a template pulled from the last job.

Contractors

Practical guidance on what the spec requires, what the standard actually says, and how to execute without surprises at inspection.

Product Manufacturers

Honest evaluation of where your product stands against the spec and what it takes to get it included, without the sales-filtered version.

My Expertise

A bad spec costs more than a good consultant.

I've served as past chair of AMPP's Surface Preparation Standards Committee and am actively involved in the National Shipbuilding Research Program’s (NSRP) Surface Prep & Coatings Panel. That background doesn't stay in the meeting and conference room, it goes into every specification I write, every product I evaluate, and every training I run. Misread requirements, vague surface prep standards, and products that don't match the job conditions - these aren't just paperwork problems. They're project failures in process. I get involved before the confusion becomes rework, and I stay involved until the work is done right.
