On September 21st, I’ll be presenting to the Pipe Liners Club of Tulsa on AI, Data Centers, pipeline operations, and the leadership mindset our industry needs right now. As the 2023 Pipe Liner of the Year, I’m proud to continue supporting this community and helping bridge the gap between technology, field operations, and the culture that makes our industry strong. The future isn't coming - it's already here!

Last week, we had the honor of hosting the OSU CEAT STEM Camp on our Pryor Campus. The 100 campers enjoyed the 3 days of learning. I want to thank the OSU Interns who taught the campers to open their eyes to all the possibilities. Graduation was electric. The kids in Mayes County and the surrounding area will benefit so much from these 3 days. Thank You!!!

It was an honor to tour RAE Corporation under the guidance of Damon Swank. It is impressive to see how this family-owned business continues to grow and thrive. The advanced technology behind the equipment they build and service, combined with their strong employee-driven culture, is truly remarkable. RAE Corporation is one of the key reasons MidAmerica Industrial Park has become a hub for business in Northeast Oklahoma, with an impact that extends worldwide.
