 About Me:
  As a highly motivated self-starter, I will work independently or as part of a team in support of the company's goals and to help it achieve its mission objectives. I've 12 year experience in the offshore exploration industry and have been in the maintenance/repair field for a total of 28 years with a total “at sea” time of 23 years. I’m ready to take on new challenges with enthusiasm and energy. My personal philosophy and ethic are to combine today’s “New World Technology” with the “Old World Craftsmanship” that I have been taught as an apprentice. I feel that this is the way to achieve the very best product possible in every endeavor
  I carry a current US Passport and have worked internationally for the past ten years. I enjoy meeting and working with people from all backgrounds and nationalities and feel that this develops a more diversified, challenging and rewarding employment experience.
 My primary asset that I can utilize years of experience to resolve difficulties, and approach complex issues or situations in a logical, methodical manner. I can perform well in difficult environments and in situations where client’s concerns must be handled ably and in a professional manner. I am well experienced in several disciplines including electronic/electrical, electrical/mechanical, drilling systems controls, vessel management systems, mechanical and hydraulic.
 Significant Achievements include:

• Installation and commissioning electrical supervisor in China for a major manufacturer of offshore drilling equipment for three jackups drilling rigs and one high specification semisubmersible drilling rig.

• Team Leader during for rig commissioning project in China at three locations for three teams. This project comprised of the construction and commissioning of 71 complete and partial land rigs in a 24 month period for delivery to US and other international locations.
• Oversaw the fabrication, installation, and commissioning of the Development Driller I & II HYDRIL BOP Control System.

• Was involved in the Development Driller I and II project for 2 ½ years, involving myself in all aspects of electrical installation, inspections, testing and commissioning.

• Was instrumental in raising the level of reliability of GlobalSantaFe Jackup Rig 136 so that it could fulfill its contract obligation before entering the yard for major overhaul.

• Worked on the construction, commissioning, sea trials, and first year of operation of the Deepwater Nautilus project.

• Trained several inexperienced “new hires” in the necessary skills required for an Offshore Electronic Technician and Rig Electrician on a “high specification” vessel.

• While with Helmerich &Payne, I worked with Royal Dutch Shell personnel in the construction and commissioning of modules for the TLP as well as the construction, commissioning and integration of the H&P drilling package for the same project. We achieved ZERO down time in the first eighteens months of operation.
