Meet GMRC Chair, Michael Smith

摘要

Smith: I graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a mechanical engineering degree in the early '80s, which actually corresponded with a downturn in the oil and gas industry. I went to work for Bingham-Willamette Pump Company, which I had to co-opt with while in college. Bingham had been producing many pump packages for Aramco at the time, but the business was rapidly slowing. So, I moved over to Schlumberger for a few years in the well-logging division. I then started a long tenure with Texas Gas Transmission in Owensboro, K.Y. Fast forward to today, I've been in the industry for almost 35 years with 22 years at operating companies. I stayed in the oil and gas industry the other years as well with service, engineering and manufacturing companies.
