I've spent most of my life in various non-profit volunteer positions that occupied my time away from the office, often in a leadership position. It all began working just out of school as a Big Brother while working as a geologist exploring for oil and gas. I was a big brother to two young men, forging lifetime relationships. Both young men are accomplished adults at this time and my friends.Positions and organizations include:Big Brothers of Houston - two volunteer assignments (completed) and some time assisting Case WorkersBoy Scounts of America - Former Scout Master, Asst Scout Master and Eagle mentorJuvenile Court Volunteers - Former Volunteer and Past Board MemberThe Alley Theater of Houston - volunteer since 1972Stages Repertory Theatre - volunteer since 1982Back Porch Players - Current Board MemberToastmasters International:past Lt Governor of Marketing - Distinguishedpast Lt Governor of Education & Training - Distinguishedpast D56 District Governor, Select Distinguished, Excellence in Leadershippast International DirectorHouston Speakers Forum, President - Pres DistinguishedProfessionally Speaking Singles Toastmasters, President - Pres DistinguishedGalleria Area Professional Singles Toastmasters, President - Pres DistinguishedPride of Houston Toastmasters, President - Pres DistinguishedDining Out Toastmasters.

I started here working for Varco and continued on with NOV after they merged with National Oilwell, ending up in the Mechanical Engineering group. I had a lot of terrific experiences working here, but took on the opportunity of a new challenge that I thought was a good fit for me. I especially enjoyed all the people that I got a chance to work with during my years at NOV.
