OK... Fellow oil field HANDS say hi!
As my name suggests I am Greg, and I'm a hand! If your not in the oilfield you probably don't know what that means but oh well. The other post about healthcare workers got me thinking we probably have a lot of folks who work in and around the oil industry being it's Texas and all.
I started in 2001 at Wilson Supply in Bryan, TX as a driver and moved up to warehouse manager. Sept 11th happened and I got activated for a few years.
I came back from the Army and did a summer internship for Rod and Tubing Services LLC doing parts inspection at our shop and out on workovers in the Bryan, TX area during the summer of 2004.
I started back to college at SHSU in 2004 and after giving police work a try went back into the oilfield and worked for Red Man Pipe and Supply in Conroe, TX as that companies first ever intern in 2006.
National Oilwell Varco stole me away and I went to work for them also in 2006. I started at their International Distribution office on West Little York as an expiditor in Houston while still going to SHSU. I only worked there for 4 months and then got transfered to our Bryan, TX location because of the growing rig count we had out there, I did inside sales and a little outside sales there. I stayed in Bryan until I graduated and then moved to Harvey, LA (West bank of New Orleans) in May of 2007. I worked on the Nabors Offshore account as well as a lot of fab business and our new Apache/GOM contract as a inside sales guy. I worked there until September of 2007. With about 5 mins notice I took over our Port Fourchon facility because the store manager and our top inside sales guy had just got canned.
So far it's a great job. I wouldn't do anything different and I'm very good at it! I'm one of the very few people who actually live in Fourchon! My company provides a little modular type home thing that I stay in which is a lot better than some of the places I had to sleep in the Army! I still can't wait to get back to Houston though!!
So who else?
