From October of 2014 until September of 2015 I provided pipeline and project execution expertise to Flour Daniel for the NEXUS project, provided design and AFE level estimates for gathering systems in Oklahoma for Fortress Capital. For both efforts I provided design expertise, constructability reviews, regulatory guidance, contracting strategy and execution plans. During the end of this period I signed on to be a part of a mega-pipeline project for Kinder Morgan, however, the project did not move forward. My efforts there shifted into internal process review, route selection reviews and comments and opinions on a FERC spin down project.

Excel was started by my good friend and old boss at Audubon Engineering, Greg Rudichuk. I was their first major client, and then later the VP of Pipeline Engineering.
