My experience as a small business owner has equipped me with skills that are highly applicable to the oil and gas industry. Running a small business demands a strong work ethic, which is essential in any sector, especially one as demanding as oil and gas. This industry often requires long hours and dedication, similar to what I have experienced while managing my own business.
Owning a small business has given me a profound respect for the intricacies involved in operating larger corporations. The challenges faced by small businesses mirror those encountered by large entities but on a different scale. Understanding this dynamic allows me to appreciate the complexities of corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and strategic planning within the oil and gas industry.
In summary, my background as a small business owner has provided me with transferable skills such as a strong work ethic, financial management capabilities, effective multitasking abilities, and an appreciation for corporate operations—all of which are essential in navigating the complexities of the oil and gas industry.

I obtained my Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in November 1993. From that time until January 1997, I worked full-time transporting freight with a gross vehicle weight of 80,000 pounds across the country. After that, I continued to drive intermittently until February 2002. I am happy to provide references upon request.
