ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Skills
I have been working in the rig industry for 16yrs. I started as a roughneck on the service rigs in Alberta and
worked my way up to derrickman where I held that position for two years. Since then I have changed over to the
exploration/geotechnical side of drilling and now am a certified Journeyman driller, but if the right opportunity
arises back in the oil and gas industry I would consider going back. I am a very hard working and very dedicated
person that takes direction well and is good at problem solving issues that arise out at the rig. As a Journeyman

the years,
