Oil and Gas and where it has led me...
I got into CNC machining through what some might call a dirty, straightforward, and straight-laced industry. But pushing the green button on a machine was never going to be enough for me. I quickly realized there was more opportunity — more to learn, more to build, more to create.
I set out to learn not just how to run machines efficiently, but how to program them, optimize them, and challenge the idea that “this is how it’s always been done.” If I wanted to do things my way — and create entirely new things — I’d have to teach myself. So I did.
That mindset has shaped every step of my journey. Some paths led to new ones entirely, while others grew and flourished over the years. I’ve come to see everything I build as a form of art — whether it’s in an actual gallery or bolted to an offshore drill.
I work where engineering meets creativity. And that’s exactly where I belong.
