Steve's Story
Life
Well since I left PA I spent 4+ years in the Navy at Jacksonville Fla. I came home to PA for a couple of years. Then went to California to visit and ended up staying there for 11 years working Offshore Oil fields for Shell Oil Company. In 1995 I came down here to Louisiana to work on Shell's Deepwater projects. In 2002 Shell added a new Tension Leg Platform. Brutus TLP and I was fortunate enough to be part of the project Shortly after the start to float out into the gulf. We built it from the ground up and that is where I am currently at, about 110 miles off the coast of Louisiana working a 2 weeks on 2 weeks off schedule. Nice getting a vacation every month. The wife and I live about 30 miles north of the Big Easy New Orleans and love it down here. I have been on Bourbon Street for Marde Gras for the last 7 years. I hope to spend maybe 10 more years in the oil fields and not sure where I will retire to.
