Meet Our Principals
As president of ALTEC, Inc. he oversees market strategy, sales, and development of new technology. Under his leadership, ALTEC, Inc sales have increased and enjoys a solid reputation in the industry for technical aptitude and customer service.
His career began in 1982, working as a shop and service technician for McMurry Oil Tools in Lafayette, Louisiana. This position provided a solid background in design, preparation, and field installation of equipment for multiple U.S. operators.
From 1992 until 1997, Gary was a sales specialist for McMurry Oil Tools which later became Weatherford Artificial Lift. During this time, he built on the solid foundation of field experience gained in Lafayette. This tenure also gave him an opportunity to expand into an offshore environment as well as land-based wells.
In 1997, he left Weatherford for Altec, Inc., a young service company with lots of promise. His earlier field training served him well and Gary helped build the company into the service company it is today. In addition to serving North American and Gulf Coast operators, ALTEC technology and tools found their way to global wellsites, including Indonesia, Australia, Egypt, and New Zealand.
Gary helped develop and apply new types of equipment and systems which later were patented by Altec.
In 2018, he assumed the helm of ALTEC and continues to indulge his passion for technology and pioneer new approaches to gas lift to advance the industry. With his wife of 33 years, he loves spending time with his family, fishing and hunting in Louisiana.
In 2007, Jacob transitioned into the Operations Manager role where today he manages all aspects of ALTEC operations as well as business development.
Although he holds a management position, Jacob has a passion for engineering and gas lift design. He keeps his game sharp and he is active in solving production challenges for customers, based on solid data acquisition, and applied field experience.
In 2018, Jacob assumed the Vice President role where he continues to lead by example and has built a solid team for North America and the Permian. Jacob is also the Quality Manager for the company, where he oversees ALTEC’s ISO 9001 Quality Management System.
Jacob is 44 years old and lives with his wife of 21 years, Kelly, and three daughters.
After earning a B.S. in Business Management from The University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Adam began his career at Altec, Inc. in 2012 as a service technician.
