About

To become a key member in Well Development and Exploration Operations while helping create and maintain a safe and environmentally sound work place and plan to provide years of quality service. I've been fortunate to work with several types of rigs with various equipment. ST-80's, 4500 Iron Roughnecks, PRS 5, numerous top drives, numerous mud pumps systems, BOP stacks from surface to submersibles and configurations and other rig equipment from platform rigs to deepwater rigs.

Along with that various 3rd party groups, coil tubing, wireline, electric line, ocean engineering, frac operations, flow back & well stimulation operations. Diverse knowledge and skills, quick to learn and common sense, I am confident in performing tasks set before me, and the crew I supervise in a safe and productive atmosphere.
