Additional Information
07/01/07, Started working right out of high school as a contractor in 2007. I knew that I wanted to be in the oil and gas industry. I’ve done everything there is from pile driving to changing out pumps. I have excelled in management and find day-to-day tasks easier as a leader. But don’t mind being hands-on to get the job done.
