I’ve been in the Oil and Gas industry for over 25 years, and I love it. I have a real passion for the people, technologies and stories of our industry. And to see how we spread prosperity wherever we go, just makes me happy.
I started off in sales and have sold over $305 million to the oil & gas industry and have had over 2200 meetings with almost every oil & gas company that you can name. I’ve done business in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the UK, Middle East, Mexico, Canada, Norway, Scotland, Brazil and in the good ol’ US of A to name a few.
Later I started my own market research company and have a well-earned reputation as an industry “insider” and independent 3rd party researcher, helping many companies figure out where their product or service “fits” in the Oil and Gas industry. All of my clients love our work, which just feels good. Providing easy to realize value is on the top of our list.
This led me to become a part of the new media, where I have the top 21 Oil and Gas podcasts in the world, with over 3,000,000+ downloads from every single country on the planet, with more to come. I take my ethical and factual reporting to heart, and love getting these fascinating stories out there.
Added to the mix of services is public speaking. By offering keynote and conference services, participating in company events and helping sales and marketing teams understand and validate their strategy and tactical approaches, I ensure our clients success.
I’m an author, I sit on several oil & gas boards, have one of the top oil & gas presences in social media and I volunteer my time to teach STEM’s at local schools.
OGGN is the new media company focused on the Oil and Gas industry. I serve as the executive leader with the goal of getting our industries stories told accurately, and with a passion. Our audiences of over 3,000,000+ downloads with listeners in every single country in the world, is the largest of its kind. And we provide valuable, useful and honest content to the future leaders of our industry. Our sponsors increase their sales and exposure by working with us, which is a real “win-win” for all involved. We have the best team on the planet and are growing like crazy. And “giving something back” is woven into our culture.
