McGloin (S.A.K.) started in NDT at the age of 17 immediately after high school and has worked in various areas of the industry ranging from fieldwork in refineries and power plants to the Boeing Company in Huntington Beach, California, working on projects such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle.

At the age of 23 McGloin had acquired corporate Level IIIs in PT and RT, and prior to his 10th anniversary in the industry, achieved his first ASNT NDT Level IIIs. At this point, 30 years after starting in NDT, McGloin holds seven ASNT NDT Level IIIs in PT, RT, MT, VT, UT, ET, and LT, three ACCP Level IIIs in PT, RT, and MT, and a CWI from AWS.

In 2000 McGloin started his consulting business, NDT Enterprises LLC. He has been teaching for 24 years and has managed Hellier in Anaheim, California, for the last 16 years.
