My clients include or have included engineering and architectural firms, building owners, facilities development and management firms, research organizations, utilities, trade associations (including those directly involved in refrigerant and related equipment manufacture), law firms (as a consultant in arbitration and as an expert witness in litigation), and governmental agencies. I also have consulted for clients regarding alternatives for ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) for processes other than refrigeration, such as reverse-Rankine cycles, and on devices for medical and cosmetic treatments. My clients are primarily in the United States, but sometimes also in Canada, Mexico, Australia, and in both non-Article 5 and Article 5 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and South America. The topics of the Montreal Protocol, Kyoto Protocol, and the RTOC assessment are germane to aspects of my work addressing refrigerant management, transition planning, performance analyses, and evaluation of environmental and safety impacts.  I am a registered professional engineer and have published more than 200 papers, articles, and reports, among them many addressing refrigerants, refrigerant use, and related topics.
