Simplify the Technical
Scaffold the Concepts
Leverage the Familiar
1️⃣ Laboratory Petrophysicist (early 1980s)
My first professional job was in a petrophysical lab, working under in-situ (high-pressure, high-temperature) conditions with hazardous chemicals. I analyzed unconsolidated Bakersfield oil sands, North Sea tight gas sandstones, and nearly everything in between.
2️⃣ Accenture (Andersen Consulting, 1989–94)
Hired as a COBOL programmer, I transitioned into an emerging area of consulting: Organizational Change Management (OCM). I worked in Andersen’s energy practice onshore, offshore, and significantly with production accounting processes (from pumpers through corporate accounting). Here, I became acquainted with the conscious-competence model, which evolved into my DCBA safety culture model.
3️⃣ Consulting Era (1990–2015)
I spent 20 years consulting with major firms including Accenture, CSC, Capgemini, and Deloitte before founding my own firm, Xbig6 (now Honeycutt Science). Across those roles I worked with leaders, engineers, and field teams to simplify complex organizational change—turning risk, compliance, and performance systems into models that anyone could grasp. That era solidified my approach: transform complexity into usable clarity that sticks.
4️⃣ 400+ Youth (2015–2022)
I’ve been honored to instruct several hundred young lives in mathematics, science, business, and psychology. In Colorado, I taught just over 400 incarcerated and detained youth who often needed a role model as well as a teacher. In Oklahoma, I’ve taught science and psychology to both mainstream and at-risk teenagers.
5️⃣ Retired But Still Certified: Mathematics, Physical & Life Sciences (through 2029)
Although retired from public education, I plan to continue teaching through Carl Albert State College’s Upward Bound program—something I’ve enjoyed each June for the past several years. My Oklahoma teacher’s license remains active through 2029 in upper-level high school mathematics and sciences.
6️⃣ Approachable Insights for Corporate, Safety, and Jurist (2023–present)
I use the same teaching and explanation approach with adults in dress shoes and steel-toe boots—turning unfamiliar ideas into meaningful ways to “get it.” I first wrote about this in my Provocative Business Change model for business growth and risk reduction. Since retiring, I have added several safety-oriented works and guides for helping young adults from the foster system transition into independence.
7️⃣ Simplicity of DCBA (2024)
Most recently, I’ve designed and written about methods to move organizations beyond the appearance of compliance toward a true culture of safety. Adults and juries deserve to approach new subjects from a perspective they already understand. Nearly everyone relates to letter grades of D, C, B, and A, and grading a culture this way makes immediate sense—the “ah-ha.”
