Summary

Skilled and hard working team player with a strong background in coil tubing. The majority of my coil career has been spent in the Bakken. Over the past 15 years I have held almost every position available in the coil industry, from ground hand to management positions. For the past year I have worked as a consultant for Continental Resources and Chord Energy. I bring first rate work ethic into the work place, have good communication skills, work well independently, and as a team member.
