About Joseph R. Pere

comments are my own and are not necessarily a reflection of my employer or any other organization with which I am affiliated. My ultimate goal in all that I do is to help people and take care of them as best I can. I am a professional who works to achieve meaningful results. I love meeting people and getting to know them. I also have a passion for helping people, and am fortunate to work in an industry where I can do just that. As a technical professional, I help people work with government agencies to help achieve their environmental compliance goals. As a minister, I work with people to help them grow in their faith, to love them and serve them, and provide them with the spiritual support they need. In 2005, I began my career in the field as a Production Operator in the Gulf of Mexico and worked my way into various roles in the oil & gas and environmental consulting fields, having attained my degree in Petroleum Engineering in the intervening years. Since then, my knowledge base, while still strong in oil & gas, has expanded to include chemicals/petrochemicals, manufacturing, high tech, and waste handling industries. I am experienced in Air Quality, Environmental, and Regulatory Affairs fields at both the project and programmatic levels. I understand what it is to be an effective collaborator with my partners (clients/stakeholders/colleagues), and strive to learn their needs, their risks, and their perspectives in order to fully serve them.
