Retired from National Oilwell Varco after 42 years in oil & gas upstream equipment. Available for limited contract consulting work.

I manage technical support services for the Mission Group of NOV. Responsibilities include Engineering data management, Metallurgy, Welding Engineering, and Engineering Systems. I also participate in industry standards activity, primarily on API Subcommittees 6 and 20.

I worked in the Mission Valve Group of NOV. I managed product engineering of the Varco-Best production chokes and actuators, the Shaffer drilling chokes and gate valves, and Retsco relief valves, gate valves, and float valves. I also managed engineering teams responsible for choke and kill manifolds, control panels for choke and kill systems, and automated controls for production chokes and pressure relief valves.
