Summary
I started in a hardware store at the age of 20.
I left and started in the oilfield in 1999. I left it briefly in 2013 and opened a furniture consignment store. Eventually went back into oilfield in 2014 with C&C pumping as a pumper/gauger. Drove FedEx delivery truck. Went back into the oilfield with Glytech services Slidell La. in 2019. Started pressure washing buissness in march 2023.
Open to relocating, or I have camper trailer if needed.
