| Occupation | OIM Seaeagle FPSO Nigeria |

| Introduction | I split my time between Mandeville, La, Grayling, Mi and offshore Nigeria (home, cabin, work). I have worked for Shell for 35 years and have been asked to stay on until end of 2013 in Nigeria. What comes after? We'll see. I am a kind of handy person and enjoy working with my hands making stuff. I began welding when I was 11 years old making dock feet and frames for my Dad's company. I graduated on to other bigger projects while earning money for college. A BS in Zoology didn't disqualify me for the Shell job in 1977 which was a good thing. |
