Summary

I have been operating the control system since the day the programming was finished the first plant built 5 years ago. I am now operating the one we just finished building and started up November 24th. I am a very reliable and dedicated individual. I will try my hardest to do the absolute best job I can do to make sure everyone is safe and the job gets done right. From stabilizing condensate to drying gas to send it to sales. If I do not know an answer I am persistent to find a solution. I have an upstanding work ethic and very easy to get along with. Safety is my number one priority and will make sure that the plant and everyone in it leaves the same way they came in.
