Summary
I have worked in the natural gas industry part/fulltime since I was age 13. During that time, I have worked trade labor jobs, supervision jobs and management jobs on Pipeline Transmission, Pumping Stations and Natural Gas Distribution Projects across the Lower 48 and Alaska. The experience learned in all of the projects I worked on has provided me with a great understanding of the importance of SAFETY, QUALITY OF WORK and REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
