EXOSENT ENGINEERING - Key Persons
As a third-generation scientist, Andrew grew up questioning everything and cultivating a gift for ingesting knowledge at a high rate. Andrew's expertise is in fluid mechanics, computational analysis (FEA, CFD), and in being a generalist (knowing a little bit about a large range of topics). His attitude is best summarized that the wheel does not always need to be reinvented, but it is amazing how quickly people/organizations/industry forget why the wheel was made. When technology changes to make a better wheel or a system that does not require a wheel, opportunity is missed.

Gerald has had an extensive career in the transportation of NGL and crude market. His unique approach to business development has earned him the name of a ``transportation & NGL Expert''. Over the last 25 years Gerald has held many roles in organizations where he essentially developed an entire fleet of transports. In 2016, Transport Canada B620 Hazardous Goods committee has requested Gerald to participate in the semi-annual meeting where he could share his wealth of knowledge. Some of his roles and responsibilities in industry were to identify: Job location, which transport to use, what equipment was needed, and which route to take. Some of his other skills are listed below.
