Manager Drilling

Employment Objective: Wellsite Supervisor

Executive Summary:

I broke out and began my oilfield career in 1993 just graduating basic training and advanced AIT training in the National Guard. I used the experience and knowledge of my fellow crew members and supervisors to educate myself and strive to improve my skills. Through the years and hard work I was able to work myself up gaining knowledge and experience in all positions. In 2003 I was given the opportunity to become a driller and gained down-hole knowledge with bits, mud motors, high and low pressure gasses and various drilling fluids. Rig manager was the next step in my career. Along with enhancing my computer skills, I also gained knowledge in supervising rig operations, controlling rig costs, trouble shooting well problems, communicating and working side by side with leaders that have taught me the values of hard work, leadership and dependability. It has also given me the opportunity to travel extensively and become familiar with many different drilling locations and field formations. In 2010, I became a drilling consultant. Consulting gave me the opportunity to work with different rig operations, under-over balances, cost control, air drilling and multiple wells on a single pad became daily standards. At present, I am looking for an opportunity to continue with my drilling consulting career, being pro-active, drilling wells that are not only cost efficient but in a professional, productive and safe manner.
