My personal and work ethics can be traced to growing up on a farm in North Dakota where hard work and getting the job done was expected. I spent 3 years at NDSU in Electrical & Electronics Engineering. In the spring of 1988, I took a summer job working for Schlumberger in Bakersfield, CA as an entry-level field operator and since have worked all aspects of wireline services in CA, NM, CO, MT, ND, and WY.
