Daryl Woodman

GENERAL MANAGER

Daryl Woodman

GENERAL MANAGER

After more than 20 years at Andersen Scientific, Inc., Daryl can still be found justifying his coffee habit by writing protocols every morning at 4:30 a.m. An inventor by nature, he developed the vessel Andersen uses to establish D-values, and he continues to pioneer new techniques in sterilization. Each medical device is a new challenge, and he turns the details over in his mind not only between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. but also while cooking meals from Epicurious, driving his Tesla, or throwing toys to his German shepherd, Sushi. The owners of the company know that the way to Daryl’s heart is through his stomach, and whether it’s a five-course dinner in Barbados or a trip to the taco truck up the street, Daryl is on board.

Benjamin Watts

STERILIZATION MANAGER

Benjamin Watts

STERILIZATION MANAGER

Ben sees a product through from start to finish through the sterilization process. His favorite part of the job is getting to see a medical device in its infancy. His past experience with tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and the 10 years at Andersen help him understand the intricacies of what each client needs. When he leaves work, you might see Ben driving past in a Chevy Silverado with a Doberman mix named Cooper sitting next to him. He often picks up his guitar to compose his own music and attends bluegrass and jazz music festivals as often as possible. Ben and his wife also enjoy hiking in the mountains with Cooper and their daughter, Harper Jade.

Conor Russell

VALIDATION ENGINEER

Conor Russell

VALIDATION ENGINEER

Conor Russell brings enthusiasm to the office each day. His environmental science background and lab experience are an asset as he processes sterilization orders and handles the client contracts, and he appreciates that there is a lot to learn. “Every week that goes by, I learn a better way to do something,” said Russell. On any given weekend, you can find Russell at a new event around town, from listening to reggae to trying out a new brewery. Since moving to North Carolina from Long Island, he said he goes out more often and loves meeting new people. He and his girlfriend enjoy rock climbing and hiking and take their hound/boxer mix, Porter, on frequent weekend camping trips to Asheville. Russell looks forward to developing his skills further at Andersen Scientific and has already made significant contributions to the team. “I can’t imagine working with better people,” he said. “They’re fun to work with, and I can go to them with any question. It’s a great environment.”
