For 10 years, I worked
as a mechanic for Caterpillar dealers and highway contractors. For the past 30 years, I have personally designed,
built, operated and repaired the machinery used by my companies in dredging, scrap metal
processing, landfill operation and garbage hauling.
Early on, I learned that
when my equipment was down for some type of repair, I had no income. I also got hit with the cost of parts and labor to
make the repairs. The double loss from
breakdowns, caused me to learn and apply methods that would extend the life of lubricants,
engines, transmissions and hydraulic systems. I
became very passionate about learning and applying everything possible to extend life. These efforts have been very rewarding on my
equipment. During the past year I have
conducted extensive studies, conducted the filtration testing that are shown on this site,
completed a classroom-training course on oil analysis and lubrication, and passed the
certification test to become a Machinery Lubricant Analyst.
I believe that my
knowledge and experience in extending life has value in helping people and companies to
also extend the life of their lubricants and machinery.
For those reasons, I started Machinery Maintenance For Extended Life. We are providing consulting services and
implementation of practical filtration and oil analysis solutions.
I believe that you will
