Summary
A driven and safety orientated leader with a diverse background. I started with a passion for the culinary arts and after achieving my Red Seal and many different culinary experiences later, moved into the Oil and Gas industry to seek out new challenges. Having an organized and mentally strong culinary skill set made it a smooth transition. Starting out on service rigs for several years then HSE and eventually drilling rigs, soon became Field Supervisor of the newly started Solids Control division over a 10 year span. While still enjoying the industrial environment joined Teck Recourses Limited.
