I am practiced in supervising conventional jackknife triples, telescopic doubles, ADRigs, super singles, coil and core rigs, using both over- and under-balanced mediums in areas with ab- and sub-normal formation pressures. I have specialized in zero-and minimum-disturbance drilling in environmentally sensitive areas and have a proven record of drilling with a zero target for personnel injuries, property damages, and environmental impacts.

I am efficient in record keeping, and have been trained in report writing at the Open Learning Institute, Burnaby, BC

I am relatively computer savvy, having used computers at work and home since 1980 and completed an Information Technology course at the Open Learning Institute.

I have a rudimentary command of Spanish, having worked in five Spanish-speaking countries.
