Tom Lastrapes is Vaughn Associates’ Analytical Sales & Support Manager for Louisiana, South Mississippi, South Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
Tom holds a B.S. in Physics from the University of Southwestern Louisiana. He spent 14 years with Monsanto Chemical and Bendix working hands-on with analytical instrumentation, then more than 25 years representing process analyzer manufacturers across the Gulf Coast as an outside sales and support representative.
That combination of plant-floor experience and application knowledge makes Tom a trusted resource for analyzer projects. His work includes emissions monitoring, gas detection and process stream analysis, where getting sample conditioning, calibration and long-term support right matters as much as the analyzer itself.
