I was glad to once again utilize my extensive subject matter expertise to support Borger Nitrogen Operation’s 2020 turnaround project in which I worked optimize plant equipment, systems, and processes, increase energy conservation, and provide exceptional leadership to operations engineers and technicians to ensure project success. One of my main achievements was writing a comprehensive Primary Steam Methane Reformer Management and Optimization Best Practice.

I served all functions for Upgrade Products production facilities throughout Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri, directing capital budgeting and execution, environmental, health, production, profitability quality, safety, and strategic planning, managing a 100-strong member team.  It was my pleasure to work closely with our VP of Phosphate Operations to streamline operations and improve productivity affecting multiple business units. 
In my short time in this role, I was able to achieve remarkable results including maximizing fertilizer production at the Americus, Georgia facility by launching a customized design of experiment Six Sigma methodology; managing all aspects of the closure and demolition of the Florence, Alabama facility with zero injuries or environmental incidents (and within budget!); and leading aggressive negotiations to create a contract with a raw material supplier to ensure maximum production for our New Madrid facility.

The Florence facility has been closed, which prompted my migration to the next role.

Continuing my role as a Senior Specialist, I led the standardization of energy coefficient calculation methodologies across 11 different ammonia production facilities and spearheaded a steam reformer balancing project. 
My involvement led to an annual $4.5M savings to natural gas costs, serving as a vital team member on a project adjusting air registers on primary reformers, also developing a standard for balancing reformers.

I once again continued to deliver meaningful improvements to efficiency, productivity, and cost savings, leading variable cost reviews for US manufacturing facilities. I also pursued further education to improve my improvement skills by acquiring Lean Manufacturing Black Belt Six Sigma and training certification from SBTI to lead continuous improvement activities across six North American ammonia and urea plants.
This education, coupled with my sales and marketing skills, lead to a hugely successful optimization project for one of our ammonia plants, resulting in a margin increase of $3M. I also achieved a $3M savings to working capital, leading an invoice cycle time initiative. I saved Agrium an additional $600K annually, heading a project to optimize usage of our ammonia railcar fleets alongside a secondary railcar project, subleasing the same to generate a further $400K.

As part of a 6 month assignment, I commissioned equipment in strict compliance with startup and commissioning procedures for conveyor belts, fixed screens, jet-pulse baghouse, loadout buildings and equipment, portal scraper reclaimer, tripper car, and warehouse, also directing commissioning and startup functions for 610K tonnes of granular urea and 100K tonnes DEF loadout areas annually. This involved the expansion of multiple processes to streamline activities and keep everyone on task, including generating commissioning procedures and packages, Lockout/Tagout processes, operator training modules, and SOP and limits.

Acquiring new marketing skills to promote Agrium products, I oversaw the development of marketing activities across a portfolio of four production facilities and six product lines, directing all marketing strategy, positioning, pricing, production continuity, and programming and commitment levels. I guided launches that consistently resulted in multiple sales, including increasing our annual profits by $400K through turnaround of a pricing strategy for CAN17 sales in California. 
I continued to drive efficiency and productivity by creating an optimized response process addressing pipeline outages through performing comprehensive root cause analysis to support resolution development and mitigate future disruptions.

Directing environmental regulatory reporting for AEI, GHG, Title V Certification, and TRI, I made sure every piece of documentation was accurately produced and drove reporting, training, malfunction (SSM), startup, and shutdown plans for our Conda Phosphate Operations. 
A few of my proudest achievements include:
•	Increasing accuracy with an SSM process eliminating unnecessary reporting functions, ensuring compliance with all internal and federal regulations. 
•	Piggybacking on this success, I also launched a new source review screening tool to identify project and MOC regulatory obligations.
•	Improved release notification plan for all regulated CAA 112(r) substances through the development of a customized tool to quickly determine onsite spill volumes and reportable quantity thresholds.
•	I also increased TRI reporting accuracy by developing a new chemical review tracking program and form.

I managed four supervisors directing 34 operators across a phosphoric acid plant (Conda Phosphate Operations) with a $12M budget. I was directly responsible for maximizing our production capabilities by working with engineering, operators, maintenance, marketing, and purchasing teams, as well as collaborating with managers from other plants to utilize our combined knowledge and expertise to develop the best possible strategy development. In this role, I repeatedly achieved never-before-seen performance records, reaching an all-time monthly production record for both 12/2010 and 01/2011; an all-time Phos Acid production record for Q4 2010 that contributed to a gross profit of $16M above plan for CPO in Q4; achieved zero recordable spills; realized a reduction of all releases 300%; and attained zero injuries between 05/2010 and 05/2011.

As the project leader for an evaporator focus group, I instigated a change initiative for operators to track and minimize evaporator downtime, resulting in improved production and enhancing on-stream times from 77% to 85%. I also drove daily safety, environmental, quality, and production performance feedback scorecard to improve operations.

        Aaron came to Denver to lead Agrium's project and engineering group and displayed servant leadership from the beginning. He hired an amazing Supervisor of Projects (my boss) that allowed myself and other project engineers to thrive. Aaron collectively renamed the 'Distribution Technical Services' group and built it into a cohesive unit that had a clear customer service focus. This group of engineers and technical professionals operated with clear goals, was given the right amount of autonomy and made a recognizable step-change in performance. Aaron led by example and instilled a culture of care that the team embraced which truly improved collaboration, respect and empathy internal to the team as well as toward other teams, departments and third-parties. 

Since this time, Aaron has been a trusted mentor of mine that I've enjoyed asking advice and learning about his career path. I'm grateful for the example he's provided as a servant leader, influencer and friend.  Tim Buller, P.E.
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Aaron is one of the best superintendants that I have seen go through our organization.  He has moved up quickly because he is highly intelligent and has excellent social skill.  I admire Aaron because he is willing to get his hands dirty.  If something is not getting done he will step out and take it on.  He is someone who cares about people and makes things happen.
