Operate and Maintain cranes. I mostly did snubbing work which is gas well maintenance while still selling gas under pressure. I set up the rig every morning and was on emergency standby in case something happened. My job was to help with repairs and evacuate other members away from the fire, loss of control, etc. I also moved drill rigs large and small.

Crane Operations and gas field maintainance, snubbing, coil tubing, wireline, etc.

• Listened carefully to supervisors to understand directions and then carried out all work responsibilities efficiently Connected and disconnected pipes, pumps and other production equipment to support functionality. Followed safety protocols and regulations when performing roustabout duties, reducing risks and hazards Assisted with rigging and installation of production equipment, pumps and pipes This is where I started running excavator, backhoe, etc. and cranes after I worked up to being a supervisor and understood how gas well sites are put together from wellhead through separator's to the sales meter, I also have built gas compressor stations start to finish. I was a hazardous spill specialist. When tanks, pipes, pressure vessels, etc leaked we went in and replaced then treated contaminated soil so it could basically be used for gardening soil, then put the sight back together with new equipment.

It was telemarketing, I sold AOL. I was extremely competitive and was within the top sales reps about every day. I did this while going to DMACC and getting custody of my daughter in Chicago I went back to Chicago every 2 weeks.
