The Founder of Non Destructive Evaluation Int'l. Robert “Bob” L. Robinson (1934 -2003) hired Shawn January 7, 1994, and was trained, supervised, and certified under Mr. Robinson through the employer certification program. Shawn quickly achieved the role of NDT Technician and in May 2007 Shawn became Lead Technician and co-owner.

Shawn's extensive knowledge and experience working with composites has played a valuable role working with NDEI and testing on Fiber Reinforced Plastics Tanks (FRP). Shawn is asked regularly to consult with top engineering firms on his expertise, suggestions, or recommendations on FRP tank fabrication in regard to Acoustic Emission (AE) testing. As such, NDEI is written into engineering specifications for AE testing of newly fabricated FRP tanks, especially regarding Water/Wastewater facilities throughout the United States. This has become a welcomed and invaluable new division of NDEI and one that we appreciate greatly.

Jeanie manages and oversees our office operations for all NDEI departments to include but not limited to: Research & Development, Sales & Marketing, Human Resources, Accounting & Finance and our OSHA safety program for policies and procedures. Her plate is full to say the least!

When we asked Jeanie what her favorite hat is to wear with NDEI, she stated "It is difficult to pick only one hat as I enjoy the diversity of my daily tasks, but Sales & Marketing would be my first choice because I enjoy working with our customers and vendors and I especially love it when I can utilize my creative side for our social media sites. Second, would be Human Resources; although I am in management, I have a keen sense to recognize what people are feeling, thinking or may want to say but do not. I am uncommonly pro-employee and I work diligently to make sure our employees are happy in their positions. I highly value our employees because I put in the work and time hiring, so I want them to stay! Plus, I enjoy approving a new procedure or idea they believe would benefit the company, customers or their co-workers because it allows them to be involved in business decisions which I believe is important since it is a possibility, they may become the future management of NDEI, but above all, my favorite part is being their biggest champion when they reach a milestone."

Jeanie has been with NDEI 8 years, and she is the glue that holds NDEI together!
