I started American Proppants with a partner to produce frac sand proppants for the oilfield industry in both the U.S. and Canada.In my role, I developed the financial analysis and prospectus which resulted in securing $20 million of investment funding. I then directed the acquisition of a $10 million frac-sand facility in Wisconsin to supply key oilfields (Bakken/Marcellus) as they were ramping up production. Our annual Revenue was $15 million and EBITDA $6 million. Currently provide consultancy services to the Oilfield and Banking Industries.

The company produced ceramic proppants for oilfield service and production companies in both the U.S. and Canada. I was hired to build their commercial activities.I directed the development of the Commercial Organization as well as managed and sales and supply chain activities of the company’s mineral and ceramic proppant products. I also oversaw the execution of long-term agreements with major energy service companies which generated sales revenue of $65 million annually, selling out plant capacity.

Atlas Resin Proppants produced resin coated sand for the oilfield industry servicing the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Argentina. It is owned by Badger Mining Corporation.In a down market, I directed and executed an Operations, Sales and Marketing strategy that resulted in increasing annual sales revenue from $37 million to $140 million over a two year period.I also developed an organizational structure and engineering expansion to meet the sales growth, increasing the workforce from 40 to 150 personnel through the construction of four plants. By making employees part of the strategic plan and providing a bonus structure, the plants operated more efficiently and at full capacity. Annual EBITDA increased from $11 million to $72 million over a two year period.

This company produces frac sand for oilfield service companies in Texas and Colorado as well as aggregates for the Florida construction markets.As President, I led all aspects of the company’s strategic development, investment and operational activities.

Premier Silica (previously named Oglebay Norton Industrial Sands) is one of the largest producers of silica sand products in the U.S. with facilities in several states.My key accomplishments were: 1) directed 500 employees at seven silica sand quarries located in Ohio and the southwest as well as two muscovite mica plants in North Carolina and New Mexico; and 2) expedited and managed engineering projects totaling $20 million to construct plants and rail terminals to double the Texas plant output from 800,000 to 1.5 million tons annually.To turn the business around, I integrated continuous improvement teams which provided employee input and buy-in on processes. Safety citations went from 16-20 to 0 and business grew from $60 million revenue ($17 million EBITDA) to $92 million revenue ($32 million EBITDA) over a three-year period.
