With over 16 years of experience in oil and gas, I bring extensive expertise in overseeing operational aspects of planning, job execution, and vendor performance. As a seasoned professional in wellsite management, I have successfully led teams of Completion Supervisors, ensuring efficient day-to-day operations and fostering a culture of accountability and high performance.

My strengths lie in coaching and mentoring team members, conducting thorough reviews of operational plans, and coordinating with third-party service providers to ensure seamless job execution. I excel at leading daily meetings to summarize operations, and I work closely with Completion Engineers to develop and refine completion procedures, ensuring alignment with company objectives and industry standards.

I am adept at managing costs and seeking opportunities for financial efficiencies through vendor negotiations and strategic planning. With a strong focus on compliance, I ensure all operations adhere to safety standards and regulatory requirements. My technical proficiency in using software tools like WellView enhances my ability to produce accurate and timely reporting, supporting informed decision-making and operational success.

As a Completions Supervisor for Lewis Energy, I had the opportunity to grow and learn significantly while managing completion operations with in-house and third-party service companies. My focus was on ensuring efficient and safe execution, contributing to a culture of operational excellence.

My daily morning reports helped promote transparency and efficient resource management, which were important aspects of my role.

Taking responsibility for the job site, I worked closely with contracted service companies, equipment, and personnel. I prioritized fostering a safety-focused environment and ensured compliance with OSHA and Texas Railroad Commission standards, contributing to a team known for its safety record.

I also participated in enhancing operational success by leading site inspections, troubleshooting, and providing technical support. Implementing emergency response and crisis management protocols was part of my commitment to maintaining a safe and effective work environment.

These experiences have been invaluable in my professional journey, and I am eager to bring this foundation of knowledge and dedication to a Completions Superintendent role within the company, where I hope to continue contributing to its success.
