Additional Information
I started drilling 2 weeks after getting hired with Northsky, started drilling in Philomath doing drops to residential and commercial buildings with a JT10, moved on to a JT24 doing main line eight months later. I've done shots in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho shooting anywhere from around a cul-de-sac to using an air hammer to drill through solid rock. I've spent the last year in Newport and Waldport running a JT10 and JT5 drilling for Wave and Pioneer installing a brand new fiber optic infrastructure. The biggest pipe I have drilled for are 4 inch 20 ft stick conduit for PGE in Estacada, Mollala, Portland, and Hillsboro. I am currently running a JT24 pulling a 3 pack of 1 1/4" in Damascus. I have experience in reaming and pre-reaming when necessary.
