I received a BS in Microbiology from Colorado State University and jumped in to the food and beverage manufacturing world. I have 30+ years experience in food safety and quality working at food production facilities. I hold a deep passion and work ethic for food safety. In some places Allergen control was paramount in any food production I have worked at. With my deep roots in production, supplier verification and sanitation processes, preventive controls came to life even more and protected consumers around the globe! Joining MenuTrinfo has allowed me to use all my food safety experience and knowledge at an even higher level! And on a personal note, I love the outdoors whether it is hiking for miles in the Rockies or simply taking a nap by a babbling creek!
