About

My name is Dylan Glidewell. I am currently a civil engineering student at the University of Oklahoma. Prior to college, I served four years in the U.S. Army as an intelligence sergeant. Over these four years, I was promoted five times to the rank of sergeant and also deployed to multiple locations and received several awards. Following the service, I decided to go to the oil and gas sector and worked on a drillship in the Gulf of Mexico. I was hired on as a roustabout, however, for the year and a half I was employed, I spent many hours off the clock working with the Subsea Department learning the trade of a subsea engineer and am really interested in becoming one in the future. Once I saved up enough money, I stopped working offshore and decided to utilize my post 911 G.I. Bill and obtain my degree. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks.
