Summary

• My Occupational and Environmental Medicine clinical and consultation practice (1996-2019) based in NV and CA focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases in individuals and groups in industries, occupations, homes, public buildings, and other environments where people are exposed to toxic or hazardous chemicals, physical or biological agents, and other pollutants.
  
  I am Tesla's first Corporate Physician (formerly full-time 2019-2023 and now part-time consultant) and now also consult to other companies, trade associations and government in the EV and lithium ion battery sector from mining, refining and research to manufacturing, testing and recycling on chemical toxicology, biological monitoring, medical surveillance, non-animal toxicity testing, development of OELs and SDSs, and other facets of occupational health and industrial hygiene.
  
  My academic contributions include serving as assistant clinical professor at University of California San Francisco (UCSF)-OEM residency program, and authoring and co-authoring chapters on Medical Surveillance and Workers' Compensation in LaDou and Harrison's Current Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 5th Edition.
  
  My experience and insight into the challenges and needs for hazardous industries to effectively protect their employees' health and reduce risk led my company, Verdi Technology, Inc. to create webOSCAR (TM), a web-based software platform that automates and streamlines the process for companies to manage their health and safety compliance data, requirements and risk, including patent-pending population analytics for urinary metal biomarkers and audiometry (hearing).
  
  Combing my extensive knowledge of and experience as an internal medicine and occupational medicine physician (MD) with my passion for physical fitness and plant-based diet as a certified personal trainer (CPT) and certified nutrition coach (CNC), I help adults reverse internal diseases and become healthy, fit and energetic.
