Christopher brings over 20 years of health physics and radiation protection experience and education. He is a CHP, RRPT, and holds a MS in Industrial Hygiene and Safety. Christopher has hands-on experience in radiation detection using a variety of instrumentation.
He began his radiation protection career in the US Navy utilizing every ANPDR and growing under the artificial sunlight provided by the Naval Nuclear fleet. After serving in the navy, he worked for the University of Texas Health Science Center and was provided exposure to a variety of modern detection equipment used in the commercial world. Christopher served as a member of EPAs emergency response team and operated the Mobile Environmental Radiation Laboratory comprised of a variety of sophisticated counting and detection equipment capable of remote field deployment. He has worked at Framatome’s Fuel Fabrication Facility and dove into low level Uranium, Mixed Fission Product, and associated progeny counting as well as Criticality Accident Alarm System deployment and expansion.
He has managed Health Physics consulting firms for the past 5 years and has supported a variety of government and commercial customers to ensure the facilities utilize the correct and most current detection equipment to monitor radiation workers, the public, and environment are exposed to in process. Christopher is a professor at Columbia Basins College in the Nuclear Technologies program and teaches newcomers to the radiation protection field about detection technology application and best practices.
Christopher supports expansion of Health Physics instrumentation technology, identification of new technology, and education of the Health Physics field at large.
