Summary
I have 16 years experience in the oil and gas industry starting out as a roustabout/welder helper then switching to working on a rig starting off as a derick hand and working my way to operating a rig before getting the opportunity to work as a lease operator for Berry Petroleum. I am a reliable Field Operator with proven skills in advanced troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. Committed to optimizing production processes while ensuring adherence to safety standards. I have the ability to adapt to any operational changes as they may arise and I'm stepping to stay after hours to handle and deal with any situation when needed. I've also proven to be very reliable and dependable person to call in at a moments notice when an issue with any our leases arises.
