About Me and Explosives Consulting LLC

My name is John Childs and I am the founder of Explosives Consulting LLC. I work for General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products in Williston, Vermont, by day and spend the rest of my time running Explosives Consulting LLC. This arrangement allows me to offer my services at low rates as I do not have to charge you for overhead expenses. I can devote 20 hours per week or more to your project and can support travel to your facility.

I have worked my entire career in the energetics business for some of the world's leading explosives manufacturers in both the commercial and defense fields. I also have experience developing advanced reactive and composite armor systems. You can find out more about me from my Resume or from my Linked In profile.

My goal is to solve problems for you and to help your business make or save money. This might be in the form of technical support, business development, market analysis, proposal writing, process hazard analyses, regulatory compliance, forensic work, intellectual property management or evaluating acquisition targets,.

The process for retaining me is as follows:

• Send me an email to set up a telephone call. I will reply the same day.
• During the phone call we can discuss your problem and make sure that I can help you and that your project will not create an ethical conflict with General Dynamics business.
• If you and I are both interested after the phone call, we can establish an NDA.
• After executing the NDA, I submit a written proposal with scope of work and terms and conditions. I can quote an hourly rate or we can negotiate a firm fixed price. (I will not take a job if I cannot make or save you money).
• We establish a contract based on the proposal.
• I create the deliverables according to the agreed schedule.

I look forward to working with your team. Please contact me by email or telephone today to enquire about how I might help you!
