Bio

Global Water Drilling Expert and Teacher, Lead writer at thedriller.com and podcast host of DrillerCast and Drilling Insite. Find me on YouTube at AskBrock.
Throughout my professional career, I have volunteered for challenging water, and mining drilling projects around the world. My goal was to experience every drilling condition and drilling method available. In the past seventeen years, I have documented every successful drilling project and more importantly, the ones that failed. My project documentation has helped me build credibility as a global drilling expert, trainer, and industry influencer. I have worked with multinational drill teams in water-scarce environments where 21st-century drilling innovations and methods were critical to project success. I have been fortunate to be mentored, work for, and lead the very best men and women at Baroid IDP, Laibe Corp, GEFCO, the United States Military, Department of Labor, and Western Michigan University. I have consulted with major mining companies such as Barrick Gold, Kinross, BHP, Newmont, and Rio Tinto. I have engineered large drilling companies such as Boart Longyear, Layne, Major, Cascade, Matcor, Geotech, and Suez. I have extensive business development, product implementation, and technical field experience throughout the United States and internationally. My career has allowed me to travel throughout the world; the silver lining is that I have experienced the drilling and construction industry with multinational teams in large metropolitan areas and extremely remote locations. I have treated all this experience as a graduate school of industrial drilling.

For the past seventeen years, my passion to teach and promote the water and construction industry has invited me to teach and speak about drilling, solids control, geothermal energy, environmental impact, water well creation, mining, and safety around the globe. My contributions to National Driller now "The Driller" are over 100 featured articles including numerous covers. The “Ask Brock” video series has published 100 episodes. In September 2020 I started the website Drillerstribe.com to host the newest Podcast Drillercast. My lifelong goal in the construction industry is to find a way to simultaneously promote the best technology-applications while training the next generation of drillers to help save our planet.
