Bothell,
Wash. -- HaloSource, Inc., an antimicrobial and clean
technology solutions company, has hired Stephen Himley as
engineering project manager of water applications and Steve
Carver as mechanical and plastics designer. Himley and
Carver will focus on designing HaloPure water purification
cartridges and devices, which will be used in many leading,
global water purification companies’ products.
Devices that incorporate HaloPure cartridges are able to
kill disease-causing bacteria and viruses, providing clean,
safe drinking water to India and other developing countries.
Impure, unsafe water is a leading health problem across much
of the globe, and water-related diseases have become the
number one cause of death among children under age five in
the developing world.
Himley will manage the technical phases of project
development for HaloPure water purification cartridges and
devices to ensure engineering excellence in all HaloPure
products. Carver will work with HaloSource engineers and
chemists to design HaloPure point-of-use water purification
devices.
"The global need for clean water is immense, with more than
a billion people who don’t have daily access to reliable,
safe and affordable drinking water,” said John Kaestle,
HaloSource president and CEO. “As HaloSource addresses this
significant issue, we turn to experts such as Himley and
Carver who will help us create the world’s most affordable,
small-scale water purification products without compromising
quality or safety.”
Himley has extensive experience in design, engineering,
project management and quality assurance in health
technology systems and devices. His previous experience
includes senior project engineer/mechanical heart engineer
at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane and senior
research engineer at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation’s
Department of Biomedical Engineering. Himley has also
created a non-profit organization to address HIV/AIDS in
South Africa. He has MS and BA degrees in Mechanical
Engineering from the University of California, Davis. Himley
is currently pursing a Master of Public Health degree at the
University of Washington in Seattle where he will be
conducting health impact studies of HaloPure drinking water
devices in conjunction with his academic studies.
Carver is a veteran mechanical designer and design engineer
with extensive experience in new product design for both the
biomedical and consumer industries, including design work
for Hewlett-Packard Company, Intel, Bentley Labs and
Hoffinger Industries. At HaloSource, Carver will help
implement design enhancements specific to the needs of large
partner companies who manufacture water treatment devices
and are looking for ways to ensure safe drinking water that
is free of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Carver
studied mechanical engineering at Fullerton College and has
completed numerous specialized classes and seminars in
plastic part design, injection molding and engineering
software.
