Summary
I have been working in construction the past few years but have continued to do landman work on the side. Running title and negotiating leases are what I am good at and enjoy the most. I am looking for part-time or full-time, remote or hybrid position to start immediately. I bring value with my knowledge and ability in title research, skills to find land and mineral owners and power to get them to sign leases.
