I was able to advance to: equipment operator, quality assurance technician, acid supervisor, frac supervisor and eventually lead supervisor for my crew. Sensing a great opportunity, I accepted a position with Elite Well Services in 2012 as a Service Supervisor. I held that position until November of 2016, when I was offered and accepted my current position. I am passionate about the safety of every Elite employee.
