    Dropsafe is a leading manufacturer of safety products protecting people and assets from objects falling at height. Our goal as a manufacturer is to produce products that will prevent and contain dropped object incidents from occurring. With the help of safety professionals and clients we have successfully developed a secondary net retention system to prevent fixed objects at height from falling. Along with a barrier infill system that can be deployed for temporary or permanent applications. We have the capability of doing one off custom design type work along with developing other commercial related products all around preventing dropped objects.My role within Dropsafe will be to develop and expand the current foot print the Americas region through direct relationships with clients and build a network of distribution with product ready to ship in a moments notice.

    GESCO (Geophysical Electric Supply Company) is a electrical distribution company that works with those in the upstream drilling industry. During my time as GESCO we have doubled our size in our sales and client base reaching new levels in sales in 2014. GESCO works with a variety of clients from drilling contractors, manufacturers of drilling equipment, drilling operators, electrical contractors and more.During my time at GESCO I have had opportunities to work with many manufacturing groups to help solidify our business relationship and put GESCO as a top distributor of many product lines. Since 2010 GESCO has become a stocking distributor of Amercable/Nexans (Gexol Type P Marine Cable), Hawke cable glands, Amphenol Fiber Systems, Wago, Thomas and Betts and a full line Crouse Hinds Drilling distributor for the drilling industry. In 2013 GESCO was awarded the exclusive stocking distribution agreement for the Dropsafe product covering all of North America. I work hand in hand with Dropsafe as the North American Sales Manager of the product working with drilling contractors and operators here in the US/Canada/Mexico on installation and implementation of the Dropsafe product. Dropsafe is now expanding into the marine market and beyond as companies have realized the importance of protecting workers from possible dropped object situations. In my time at GESCO we have grown to be known as one of the best customer service base companies in the industry. My inside sales staff and I are available for any electrical needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have a distribution center stocked at all times with the main electrical items needed for day to day use on a drilling rig thus allowing us to turn out orders quickly saving our clients time and money. Our knowledge of oil/gas related electrical products are second to none, because we specialize in the industry we understand the applications and usage of the parts our clients are ordering or asking about.
