About
I am a father of 3 amazing children. My son is special needs so he has changed my view of the world and I want to show all my children that anything is possible if you work hard enough for it. I am currently enrolled to get a Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering. I have been employed by Patterson-UTI Drilling for over 13 years now and have worked my way up to drilling superintendent. I have assumed this role for 4 years now and am preparing to be promoted to Operations Manager.
