Read the playbookWhat I do
I turn open spatial data into business intelligence using AI-assisted coding, Python, PostgreSQL, QGIS, HubSpot, and Apollo. It's a lean, geospatial revenue-tech stack I built to geographically connect engineering and design expertise to customer needs.
Background
I'm a petroleum engineer based in Houston. I earned my degree at Montana Tech, then spent my early career in the oilfield, where I was the lead MWD engineer and also worked in engineering technician and business development roles.
I got my MBA from the University of Texas, and since then my work has moved between the field and the office. I've done reliability engineering on Mitsubishi wind turbines, supervised field crews, and worked as a business analyst, where my fleet cost analysis cut costs by $100,000 a year.
Today I do contract sales and business development for X Tank Co and GlyGas, and I build the data tools behind that work. What ties it all together is taking what happens in the field and turning it into information people can make decisions with.
I'm open to new roles in Houston where I can provide sales support, business intelligence, field leadership, or geoscience research to organizations. Away from work, you'll usually find me shooting sporting clays.

Creed
In my work, I try to get the right information, to the right people, at the right time, to make the right decisions. If anybody has mastered this, let me know.
Experience
Drilling & Oilfield Operations
I started in the field running MWD and horizontal drilling programs, then moved into improving drilling performance for operators.
- Joined National Oilwell Varco's new real-time performance drilling monitoring team as one of its first two hires, and helped grow its customer base 500% in under a year.
- As engineering manager for an independent South Texas operator, arranged the joint venture behind the company's first horizontal well, on a property of more than 100,000 acres.
- Analyzed downhole vibration for clients at Baker Hughes INTEQ, helping establish vibration standards and reduce vibration problems.

Business Development & Technical Sales
I sell engineered products and services by building the business case around the customer's operation.
- Developed the North American business model for NOV's IntelliServ wired drill pipe telemetry and identified more than $35 million in customer leads.
- Helped shape pricing and product strategy, and prospected clients, for a geospatial startup.
- Today I do contract sales for X Tank Co and GlyGas.

Reliability & Renewables
- Responsible for oil quality on more than 900 wind turbines across the Lower 48.
- As a reliability engineer at Diamond WTG (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), analyzed lubricant and hydraulic oil samples from Mitsubishi wind turbines and directed corrective actions with field service and engineering.
- Pulled SCADA channel data (gearbox temperature, hydraulic pressure) on Mitsubishi wind turbine components and paired it with oil analysis.
- Consulted on industrial asset reliability and fleet maintenance at Rheo Technical.

Business Analytics & Operations
- Cut fleet costs by $100,000 a year at 1888 Industrial Services through a capabilities analysis, and supported bids of up to $2 million.
- Created Microsoft Fabric - Power BI and QGIS dashboards from municipal geospatial data.
- While earning my MBA, launched a physician practice management company and moved its client's patient records from paper to digital.
- Coordinated a medical facility relocation, including brokers and contractors, and liquidated more than $500,000 in assets.
