I have 20 years of experience, and specialize in the field of product safety with specific knowledge in the areas of national and international safety standards, lighters and manufacturing processes related to the afore-mentioned products. I have published on such topics as product safety testing for electrical products and compliance with federal lighter standards. I have made a career in product safety and strived to learn the intent of the various standards and regulations, and how to apply the relevant requirements and concepts in the ‘real world’ to a wide variety of products.
