Summary

First, thank you for taking the time to look at this resume. I hope that you find it informational and communicative, as well as worthwhile.


It is my desire to find long term employment, not just something with benefits and pay, but something that will endure.


My most recent employer has been gracious to me, however the lack of available working hours has become untenable for my family. Thus, I would be extremely grateful for any opportunity you would be willing to grant me.


I have experience in all types of trades and skills. These include, but are not limited to, computers, carpentry, sales, customer service, restaurant experience, tv and cable installation, etcetera.


Of my available skills, those that I believe would most pertain to this position are: reliability, ease of learning new things, critical thinking, communication, and the ability to work with anyone.


I have achieved management at most jobs that I have worked, and have achieved certification in a several things, though they wouldn't necessarily pertain to this position. (ABO-NCLE, Serv-Safe, Graphic Design)

Roustabout/Rig Hand

Western Oil and Gas
08.2014 - 08.2016
  • I often am asked, 'What's a Roustabout?' For awhile I stumbled over answers never sure exactly how to explain what it was that I did for a living
  • Finally however, I decided the best explanation was that I was a plumber
  • Roustabouts are essentially plumbers who work in the oil field
  • At this job I would go to well sites and fix leaks in pipes, bury gas and oil lines, replace old pipes, and clean-repair-replace everything you could think of
  • I often repaired pump jacks which required climbing on top of them, or fixed leaks at the top of oil batteries
  • I quickly learned to ignore and eventually forget my fear of heights, and now I can fix my kitchen sink without my wife calling a plumber!
