Objective

I wish to continue my career as a Title Landman in the Oil & Gas industry. I enjoy title research and would be an asset to any Oil & Gas company in need of my experience and expertise. I am also interested in other aspects of the industry and my extensive experience provides me with a sound base of knowledge to build upon.
