What do you enjoy most about working with Carolina Liquid Chemistries?
It is really nice to work with a passionate company within the laboratory medicine & diagnostics industry, especially in regard to addressing the toxicology of fentanyl.

What do you like doing most outside of work?
My favorite hobbies are bicycling, oil painting, walking, and hiking with my wife, but I also greatly enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, in Wisconsin and Washington DC.

What was a very surprising or exciting moment in your career?
There have been many exciting moments, but the most exciting was being elected as president of the AACC in 2014. There was an election, and I was contacted by the secretary of the society and told that I had been elected.

Can you tell us your thoughts about the current fentanyl crisis in America?
There has been a fentanyl crisis for several years now, which stems from the abuse of– and accidental exposure to the drug. This leads to toxic fatalities. We need to take more steps to help address the problem. California, for instance, requires fentanyl testing in the emergency room, and that testing is very important for addressing the immediate need for treatment and any necessary follow-up care. Testing using Carolina Liquid Chemistries’ Ryan, for instance, can detect the parent compound of fentanyl at very sensitive levels, which can tell us how recently the patient may have taken fentanyl, and therefore helps in treating patients for acute exposure.
