I’m not a robot

Wait, no… I’m not a robot. Let’s start over.

First and foremost, I’m a husband to my amazing (and very patient) wife, Jessica. Let’s be honest—I'm a lot to deal with, and she deserves a medal. Then, I’m a proud father to my two incredible kids, Brooklynn and Westin, who keep me grounded, entertained, and occasionally questioning my life choices.

A family of four, including a man wearing glasses and a black cap, a woman with sunglasses, and two children, is smiling while standing on a walkway in a parking lot. The man is wearing a T-shirt that says "DINO JIU JITSU," and the girl is holding a GoPro camera. Cars are parked in the background under a clear sky.
A man wearing red glasses and a dark hoodie smiles while standing on a snowy deck with two children. One child in a red winter coat raises their arms, while the other in a blue coat with a snowflake pattern does the same. Pine trees and a snowy landscape are visible in the background.

My professional Background

About Me

With over 15 years in the oil and gas industry, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted expert and disruptive thought leader. From my time as a field engineer in Australia to hosting the industry’s most popular live-stream show, #Vdoorlocksmith, I’ve spent years driving innovation, connecting professionals, and showcasing emerging oilfield technologies.

My career includes founding and leading successful businesses like Gibson Reports, Dent Impact, Daisy Chain Technology, Dino Jiu Jitsu, and now Gibson Catalyst—where I’m focused on opening the door for people outside the industry to invest confidently in oil and gas.

I’ve contributed to over 25 industry podcasts, served with major organizations like SPE, IADD, and AADE, and earned the trust of my peers. Now, my goal is simple: to educate and empower new investors to achieve true passive income through oil and gas opportunities.

I know this industry inside and out, and I’m here to help you take part in its success.
