Summary
I have worked in the Oil and Gas industry for over 20 years. Starting out as a Roustabout and moving into down hole tool inspection. In 2004 in started in the drilling industry where I moved up fast. In 1.5 yrs I made driller, I was a driller for 5.5 yrs before moving into a Rig Manager role. As a Rig Manager I have over seen multiple rig operations at once for multiple operators. I have worked in the Uintah, DJ, Powder River, and Permian Basins. After moving our operation to the DJ basin I took on a Rig manager/ Superintendent role. I then moved into a Drilling Consultant position with PDC. I have worked with many Operators such as, Anadarko, Crescent Point, SRC, GWOG, Verdad ,EOG and OXY. I am team oriented, motivated, and eager to learn. I am well versed with conventional directional tools, mud motors and pdc bits. My goal every day is to have a safe, efficient, clean, and organized operation.
