My Skills & Experience

GET TO KNOW ME
Hi there, Dusty here. Thank you for checking out my site. I am a resident of the United States of America. As of 2022, I'm 25 years old; I will probably forget to update this, so you will have to do the math in the future.
I am a chemical engineer working as an Application Engineer serving the minerals processing and pulp and paper industries. I am also pursing and MBA with a finance focus. My passion is the pursuit of a better world and my mission is to enable my clients and partners to advance our world with efficient, safe, and sustainable solutions.
This site will host, likely partial, thoughts I have on industries, engineering techniques, new things I'm learning, outdoor gear, and travel.
