Howard's Story
Updated background Winter 2010
I started working as an electrician right after high school in 1980 in Corpus Christi, TX. In 1984, I moved to Jacksonville, FL and continued working as an electrician until 1990.
I started attending Mississippi State University in 1991 and received a bachelor degree in 1996 in Chemical Engineering.
I have worked as an field engineer or a project engineer manger on numerous projects after graduating. I have worked off shore and in refineries. I have lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Fort Smith, Arkansas; Tupelo, Mississippi, numerous times in Houston, Texas; Lafayette, Louisiana and Anchorage, Alaska, Cairo, Egypt. Luanda, Angola and Dakar, Qatar.
I started my Masters degree in 2004 and finished in 2006. I received a degree in Industrial Management from Texas A&M, Kingsville (Texas A&I).
Upon graduating from Kingsville, I worked in Houston doing contract work on the largest Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) in the world. I was hired as a consultant doing Reliability Cost Management in Feb 2007. The F...Expand for more
PSO is owned by Chevron-Texaco and is now located off Nigeria. It was a neat job. The FPSO is called Agbami.
I went to Alaska after that and started working for VECO that is now owned by CH2MHILL. The job sucked and there was the scandal with the US Senator, Stevens. That was causing to much excitement for me so I left. Stevens is now dead because of a plane crash.
I went to Cairo, Egypt. I arrived in May 1, 2009. It was strange thing to me to see the Nile River and the Pyramids at the same time from my Flat. It is like a story book tale. (FYI) I would visit Luxor and Aswan for any visitors. See Giza then go south.
I made a little trip to Angola, Dec 1, 2009. The African cup was on. I would not suggest anyone making that trip. It is the most expensive town in the world, and the most repressive. To die is cheap. There is nothing to see except open sewers and killing.
I am currently working in Qatar. It is the largest Gas to Liquid plant in the world.
Well, that is the short and skinny on me.
