About

Danny Keck has more than 52 years of experience in nondestructive testing (NDT) and inspection in the nuclear and petrochemical industries and is currently an independent NDT/inspection Consultant. His career in NDT began in 1971 as a radiographer assistant on pipeline and nuclear power plant construction sites. In 1976, Danny relocated to Alaska and worked on the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline and as a plant inspector for BP in Prudhoe Bay before taking the position of NDT Level III for Alyeska Pipeline.

In 1991, Danny relocated to Saudi Arabia where he spent 12 years with Saudi Aramco as an NDT engineer developing new inspection and NDT technologies for use in refineries, pipelines, and operating plants. In 2004, Danny returned to Alaska for BP until 2009 when he transferred to BP corporate headquarters in Houston, TX, as the Global NDT and Inspection Subject Matter Expert.

Personal Statement

Having served for over 11 years on the Board of Directors, from 2010 to present, as well as volunteering for more than 15 council and committee appointments, I feel I am more than qualified to serve one more term as a director. I was deeply involved in developing the existing strategic plan and am currently involved in the next phase of strategic planning that will set ASNT’s roadmap through 2035. I would truly like to continue to help position ASNT as the world leader in certification of NDT personnel, while building a Society that serves the membership to the fullest. While over the last few years ASNT has progressed nicely, there is still more work to be done in building our Society as a global leader.
