  Smart Sand, Inc. is a leading provider of high-quality proppant and related logistics services to the oil and gas industry in North America. Our primary facility, which opened in June 2012 and is located on the Canadian Pacific rail line in Oakdale, Wisconsin, has an initial processing capacity of over one million tons per year and is supplying premium Northern White frac sand in a broad range of mesh sizes to key producing regions, including the Bakken and Eagle Ford formations, and the Utica and Marcellus shales. Smart Sand’s mission is to address the critical supply constraints in the oilfield services sector, including the limited availability of high-quality API grade frac sand and the logistical challenge of reliably and cost-effectively delivering large volumes of proppant to the wellhead.

We focus primarily on three specific areas of surgical training including cadaver based research and development programs for medical device companies developing new technologies and implants, sales representative training and resident/surgeon education. As Executive Director, I work closely with my Medical Director, Lab Director and the rest of the staff to insure the lab runs properly and the educational programs we host are flawless in execution. I work closely with key opinion leaders and professional education managers and staff with the goal of enhancing the Venel experience. Show less
