Selected as AMPP 2023 Symposium Conference Surface Preparation Chairman.

Patent granted for “Surface Treatment Composition and Methods for Use” U.S. Patent No. 11,028,489. Also selected as AMPP 2022 Symposium Conference Surface Preparation Chairman.

Patent granted for “METHODS FOR REMOVAL OF REACTION SITES ON METAL SURFACES AND APPLICATION OF A NANOTUBE CONTAINING PROTECTIVE COATING”. And, became a founding member of the newly formed NACE Surface Preparation Workshop.

Inventor of a patent pending metal cleaning technology process to remove corrosion reaction sites on metal surfaces allowing a receptive surface for protective coatings.

Inventor of a decontamination process to remove “non-visible, non-water-soluble contaminants affecting corrosion protection” from the surface of a base material before the application of protective coatings, paint, plastic, cladding, or other coating materials.

Made the initial discovery to eliminate the corrosion mechanism on metal substrates.

Inventor of a new patent-pending type of coating material to inhibit corrosion processes and mitigate microbial growth in the void spaces of marine vessels and other structures with limited access, where conventional methods of surface preparation and the application of typical coating materials cannot be effectively utilized.

Given an allowance by the U.S. Patent Office to include concrete substrates in the original patent. 04/95: Given an allowance by the U.S. Patent Office to include all metals in the original patent.

Granted by the U.S. Patent Office the first patent on a method of achieving “Zero- detectable” soluble salt contamination on steel substrates.

Recipient of the 1993 Chemical Industry’s Vaaler Award for Best New Technology in Corrosion Control.

Filed for patent on a method of achieving “Zero-detectable” soluble salt contamination on steel substrates, leading to several patents granted including cleaning of concrete.

Received NACE CIP #207
