INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS OF OKLAHOMA

  • Sep 2019 - Present

  Industrial Controls of Oklahoma has been one of my most broad and ambitious educational employment experiences to date. Each day I learn something new and get to experience the cutting edge of automation and controls while developing project management skills. ICO is an industrial controls contractor with a large contingent of advanced electricians and some of the most skilled technicians and programmers I've ever met. We handle both large scale and smaller specialized projects to automate and/or measure unique processes. We also have two subsidiaries: Cryonova (liquid helium and cryogenics) and Advance Machine Works (extremely specialized equipment OEM). Unique for a controls company, ICO employs as many Mechanical Engineers as Electrical Engineers. We are fully able to observe a customer's issue and design, build and test a piece of equipment that solves that problem. Show less



Innovative Initiative LLC

• Industrial Machinery Manufacturing

• Founder

  • Oct 2015 - Present

  Innovative Initiative is part of a group of ideas I've been working on for a few years. I have tons of ideas about every industry and I keep trying to find a way to work on all of them at once. This is simply an initial framework. Currently, I am focused on offering consulting in the areas prototype development and product improvement. I also act as a liaison between product manufacturers and independent testing and certification labs. I can save you considerable time and costs over dealing directly with labs by ensuring that required testing is done properly and unnecessary tests are not proposed by labs to inflate costs.

  Pipeline Equipment Inc., manufactures a broad array of products for pipelines. Many of the products are controlled by PLC's and utilize pipeline pressure to operate valves and/or cylinders. Prior to joining Pipeline Equipment Inc, all Instrumentation and Controls work was managed and performed by contractors. I was brought in to assist with the "the largest project in company history". My first day on the job, I found out that all of the 12-24" Double Block and Bleed Ball Valves that we received from a supplier had possible quality issues and leaked. The first skid for this project was being assembled and we couldn't find a valve that could pass a leak test. That day defined the next six months for me. I removed my Tie and began assisting in torquing blind flanges and leak testing valves in a frantic effort to find a few good valves to make the first skid shipment. Almost all of the 90+ valves were returned to the manufacturer for remanufacturing and testing. This was a great lesson why you should always witness the testing of a product prior to receiving shipment. The delay caused by waiting for so many valves to be remanufactured offered a unique experience and a crash course in managing an instrument shop full of contractors that were working way more hours than they wanted to. I got my hands dirty, bonds were formed, management skills were developed and we still met all our delivery deadlines. Was privileged to design and work on all aspects of the Instrumentation and Electrical components including: -Bidding Projects -Designing P&ID's and Electrical Schematics -Solidworks Modeling of Skids and Other Products -New Product Development -Ladder Logic for PLC's -Electrical and Instrument Wiring -Power Gas Tubing and Controls -Fabrication -Final Function Testing -Troubleshooting http://www.pipelineequipment.com Show less

  • Aug 2016 - Jan 2017

  I joined TDW full time on a contract basis in August 2016. Two years prior, I began performing a lot of custom product testing for TDW through a laboratory that I worked at. Initially, I was brought in apply strain gauge expertise for stress analysis simulation to real world correlations. I was able to reduce correlation errors from >100% to in some cases less than 5%. Perfect correlations are not possible due to irregularities in welds and material thicknesses, etc. Other projects included PLC programming and troubleshooting, automated pig launchers, Urethane mixing and quality, pipeline hot tapping equipment testing and troubleshooting, and catastrophic failure containment testing.

  Every supplier will swear that their product is the best. The only way to truly know is to test it. Many companies do not have the available capital to buy all of the equipment or hire the experts needed to properly do this. Nearly anyone can follow an ASTM, ANSI, SAE, or any of the other testing specifications. It doesn't take much skill to push buttons to start a piece of testing equipment. The most realistic test is always the "real world test"​. Every test deviates from the "real world results"​ and the amount of deviation depends on the care taken and the knowledge of the Test Engineer. When one of my customers fail a test, I can typically tell them what their problem is and what they or their supplier needs to change. I love taking on other people's "unsolvable"​ problems. The beauty in realizing you don't know something is the realization that you have something new to learn. I am not constrained to standard testing. If you have a product or prototype that you need to test or improve, I can typically design a test for you or suggest improvements. Feel free to challenge me. If I don't have the equipment to help you, I can refer you to someone that does.

  Holly purchased the Tulsa Sunoco and then the Tulsa Sinclair Oil Refineries. I started work at the Sunoco plant in the Reliability Engineering department as a Project Manager. Four months later I started working at both plants. I worked on just about everything that had a problem as well as some construction projects. Most of my projects were on non-rotating equipment but I had a few rotating equipment projects. I also worked heavily on steam efficiency and condensate trapping and also process heater burner efficiency. Show less
