Currently, I am a lead driller with the US Geological Survey. As a small business owner and general contractor at Purdy Construction + LLC, I have been leading and managing various construction projects for residential and commercial clients since September 2021. I have extensive experience in cost planning, design, estimating, and other aspects of construction, as well as the necessary certifications and licenses to operate safely and efficiently.Before starting my own business, I worked as a lead driller at US Geological Survey and an environmental driller at Envirocore Ltd., where I conducted geothermal and environmental research, operated different types of drill rigs, and performed maintenance and supervisory tasks. I have over eight years of drilling experience and hold a Class A CDL with airbrakes, well drillers licenses in multiple states, OSHA 40hr Hazwoper, OSHA 10hr, and several other certifications. I enjoy working in the field, being physically fit, and learning new things. My goal is to provide high-quality and reliable construction and drilling services to my clients and partners, while also contributing to the advancement of science and technology. I've also worked in most of the lower 48 and in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
