I hired on with Exxon Mobil when I was 21 years old as an operator in Chalmette, LA. I worked there for two years, and got transferred to Collins, MS where I worked until I hired on with Colonial. I worked nine years for Exxon Mobil, and the last six years for PBF Energy when bought out the facility. I spent my time operating there, and trained every operator that came after me.

• Monitored pipeline pressure, flow, and valve positions for Exxon Mobil and PBF Energy systems.
• Inspected pipeline routes and equipment for leaks, corrosion, and safety hazards.
• Operated pumps, valves, and control equipment during pipeline start-up and shutdown.

I hired on with DDS after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. I experienced everything from ROW cleanup to tank cleaning to mopping the floor. It was a great experience, and taught me a ton of knowledge in a short period of time.
