Missouri City, Texas
I live outside of Houston where I work.

Life is Fragile, Handle with Prayer



Wandering Texan, chasing Arctic Oil

Back in Texas, expanding America's refineries
expanding refineries around the world
working upstream, pipeline and storage projects in the US.
upgrading refineries and chemical plants in the greater Houston area

Back to doing Alaskan North Slope oil projects but based in Houston, Texas

I love the working the constantly changing Oil & Gas Industry. It has allowed me to see much of this great country and travel to places around the world.




“America is a strong nation, and honorable in the use of our strength. We exercise power without conquest, and we sacrifice for the liberty of strangers. Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America’s gift to the world, it is God’s gift to humanity.”

President George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, January 28, 2003



“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Ronald Reagan



"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."

Prime Minister Winston Churchill



“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

Albert Einstein
