He has run several different types of analyzers during his career and advised on the development of the CARMA, EnSpect, Recip-Trap™, and Windrock analyzers. His experience covers analysis services to the marine, oil, and gas industries to implement predictive maintenance programs, analyst reviews and selections, and training in both electronic engine/compressor and spectrum vibration analysis. His deep experience also includes developing and training on military instructional manuals for electronic diesel combustion analysis while working with the U.S. Coast Guard.

In his career as a key member of onshore and offshore program reliability teams, he has worked with a wide range of natural gas, refining, and chemical industry engine and compressor packages. Most recently, Bryan’s career has expanded to providing analysis services to the nuclear, military, railroad, and commercial marine industries. Bryan’s diverse background serves him well as an accomplished instructor of all engine and compressor analysis subjects provided in classroom, on-site, web-based domestic and international environments.
