We provide low carbon fuel to BC Ferries and provide a buffer for the natural gas supply in the pipeline system keeping costs down for our customers. We make & store LNG onsite and have the ability to re-gasify back to the pipeline or truck off site.Previous to operations , I worked 7 years on the service side of Oil & Gas in completions as a Completions Specialist at Baker Hughes, improving reservoir performance and providing technical support for our customers by using various specialized down hole tools, (i.e. Production packers, plugs, service tools), creating and maintaining good customer relations.If you catch me outside of work, I enjoy adventure motorcycling in the backcountry where I live on Vancouver Island - and I’m an avid hockey fan!I’m always eager to connect with old friends and work colleagues.
