More About Eric

Eric is no ordinary generic safety advisor, and if you were simply looking for a stop card counter or statistics engineer, he’d most likely tell you (very kindly and diplomatically of course 😉 to keep looking, as there are plenty of those types available.

His interest, expertise, and value lies in the management of critical operational issues on the front line, with a mix of field/site and office leadership…

… His storied experience began in the US Marine Corps, where he quickly accelerated to the top 1 % of the military, was selected for and survived gruelling training at the FBI academy to serve in one of the armed services most prestigious assignments – Diplomatic Duty for State Department at US Embassies overseas. He served successfully alongside other Special Forces and the Secret Service with numerous awards…

Shortly before he was to be honorably discharged, he found himself directly in the middle of (and in charge of) his first “pressure test”, as the Marine Sergeant on duty the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. This Emergency / Crisis situation lasted the next week, and since then, he has found himself managing a number of crisis scenarios (including Blowout) in the energy industry, performing various roles such as S&E Authority, SIMOPS Authority, on scene specialist team coordinator, lead engineer, and manager. Eric has worked with and comes highly recommended by some of the worlds foremost wells experts.

Beyond this, Eric is a family man, writer, philanthropist, entrepreneur, businessman, and active committee member of numerous industry organizations, including IADC and SPE. He holds Advanced Diplomas in OHS and Program Management, and a Post Graduate diploma (MSc level) in Project Engineering Management from Robert Gordon University in the UK.
