| I founded the company in 2001 because I sensed a need for consulting services that focused on the special needs and unique circumstances of client. After spending many years in the consulting industry, where economic dictates force some firms to develop standardized solutions that could be used for a broad range of clients, I decided to focus on fewer clients, but to provide them with customized solutions. I want my clients to feel that with Apsan Consulting, there is no such thing as a "standard" environmental or management solution. Each client has unique needs and Apsan Consulting is committed to providing solutions tailored to meet those needs.
Since 2003, I have been privileged to serve as the University Director of Environmental Health and Safety of The City University of New York, the leading urban university in the United States, with 19 campuses and more than 400,000 students. At CUNY, I am responsible for environmental health and safety (EH&S) management and compliance and for promoting a sustainable environmental culture throughout the University. Before joining CUNY, I worked in the environmental management field for almost twenty years, serving public, non-profit, and private sector clients throughout the United States and internationally. This experience--which includes transactional projects (Phase I, Phase II, Asbestos, Lead, Mold), turnkey remediation projects (soil, groundwater, asbestos abatement, tank closure), environmental management systems (ISO 14000, compliance tracking, inventory management), value impairment analysis, and lots of training--has taught me that just as each client is unique, each solution must also be unique.
In addition to my management and consulting activities, I have been a member of the faculty at Columbia University?s School of International and Public Affairs since 1986. I have also served on many boards and professional associations, including the United States Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) for ISO 14000, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Environmental Committee (E-50), the Springfield (New Jersey) Environmental Commission, and have chaired the New York Chamber of Commerce Environment and Energy Committee and the New York Chapter of the Environmental Auditing Roundtable. I am a member of the Editorial Board of Environmental Quality Management, and I try to write and lecture regularly.
