My career took several turns over the years, all were due to related to economy

Over the Years

Schooling and  second real job was for Architecture; which took a dive and other employment was needed.

Being a draftsman, it was an easy transition into the Oil & Gas industry.

Shifting from oil & gas discovery into production equipment design, I moved to being a draftsman designing equipment.

Still in the oil & gas industry, my schooling and continued interest in designing equipment moved me into the Engineering field. I continued schooling and learned programming to aid in the tedious, repetitive tasks involved with designing equipment; saving countless hours of tedious calculations and such.

The oil & gas was hit by a downturn, an opportunity was offered to me to transfer careers into IT.  I was offered the IT Manager role for my current employer's IT Department.

Current Career
