I formerly headed the federal agency responsible for overseeing hazmat transportation by air, land, sea, rail and pipelines at the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. I have also served as the federal government’s top motor carrier safety attorney for the trucking, bus and moving industries at the U.S. DOT and was a Naval Officer and Naval Aviator for 26 years.
