Summary

Started my career in the oilfield when i was 18 year old. My first job was a Safety Valve Tech. Was National Board certified. At 19 was running my own crew. Move on to work for Schlumberger for better pay plus insurance. While at Schlumberger i started out as a shop hand and move my way up to Sales and Services. was asked by the Manager of Baker Oil tools if i would like to learn down hole tools and made the decision to do so. This job allowed me to be able to advance to a better job with Weatherford.

With the oilfield ups and downs had to move job to job to keep bills paid.

Willing to do what i can to be able to work as long as possible.
