Unconventional Multistage Completion Expert

Throughout my career in oil and gas I have been focused on unconventional formations that require multistage hydraulic fracturing. My primary expertise is the multistage completion tools and techniques, but my unique experience has also given me a solid understanding of reservoir properties, directional drilling, and stimulation design. 

During my tenure I have trained thousands of people, installed multistage completions in approximately 50 wells in 10 unconventional formations, traveled to 19 different countries to support and develop emerging markets, managed billion dollar product portfolios, and developed business and marketing plans and strategies.
