Okay, I have to admit that five years ago, had anyone mentioned the term “drilling,” I would have assumed they were referring to some sort of DIY project. It’s safe to say that my initial, more youthful intentions were very different back then from what they are today. It all started with Halco Rock Tools. I was offered a position in the marketing department and my career took an unexpected but incredible turn from that point on.
The majority of projects I’ve dealt with have been in the supply of rock drilling consumables, learning best practices in the office and developing my drilling experience in the only place that matters — out in the field. I have lived in a shipping container in China, survived the extreme heat of Saudi Arabia and endured the frozen Rocky Mountains in winter. As you all know, there are some real perks to the job.
