WORK EXPERIENCE FDA Investigator for 42 YEARS (1972-2014) - 2012-2014: Assistant Country Director, FDA, Shanghai, China
In this position, I was responsible to FDA management for the operation of FDA’s Shanghai Office: investigations, inspections, and public outreach. I was responsible for supervising 1 to 3 drug investigators and 1 to 2 local staff. As FDA was a “Section” of the US Consulate in Shanghai, I was also the “FDA Section Chief” responsible to the Con- sulate General for office logistics and administrative activities. I devoted about half my time toward office manage- ment and about half my time toward inspections of medical device manufacturers, clinical investigators, and laser product manufacturers. - 2000-2012: Medical Device & Electro-Optics Specialist, FDA, Oakland, CA and San Jose, CA

My territory was the western third of the United States, and my travels included Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Montana,Hawaii and Utah. I performed laser product inspections about 2/3’s of the time and medical device inspections about 1/3 of the time, as well as an occasional biores-earch monitoring inspection (sponsor and clinical investigator). I also made presentations to medical device trade organizations and to universities. In this 12-year time period, I continued to be a member of FDA’s Medical Device Cadre, and did about 10 foreign inspec- tion trips, typically inspecting four medical device manufacturers per trip. - 1978-2000:Medical Device Specialist, FDA, San Jose, CA and Brooklyn,NY

In this time period, I was a member of FDA’s Medical Device Cadre, and did about 20 for- eign inspection trips, typically inspecting four medical device manufacturers per trip. - 1972-1978: Investigator-Generalist, FDA, Brooklyn, NY
