Areas of Assistance:

  • Fiber-reinforced plastics
  • Medical device manufacturing
  • Pulp and papermaking
  • Semiconductor fabrication
  • Machining

As MnTAP’s newest technical specialist, Jeff brings extensive experience in a number of industries: pulp and paper, medical device manufacturing, and semiconductor foundries. He has over a decade of experience that he relies on to answer questions regarding regulatory compliance, process and product qualification, and quality manufacturing practices. Prior to joining MnTAP in early 2008, Jeff consulted with a packaging and machine company to provide hands-on production solutions and initiate renewable container sales and marketing efforts in the Midwest.


Good Questions to Ask Jeff:

  • What alternatives are available to styrene resins and acetone cleaning solutions?
  • How do we streamline our qualification process to introduce environmental factors?
  • Are there chemical additives that will increase pulp yield at our mill?
  • What are the energy and process benefits and challenges of introducing new chemical technologies?
  • How can I reduce or reuse machining waste?
  • What is the return-on-investment or payback of an energy-saving or waste-abatement investment?

Related Work Experience:
