My dad was honored this year as 'Oil Man of the Year.' The oil companies recognized my dad for all his years of hard work and his outstanding reputation. He is known for being a good friend, honest business man and his knowledge about oil production and building pumps. We are so proud of you dad and we love you so much!Here was the bio they read about him:
"Mike was born 1-30-1956 in Bakersfield, Ca. He moved to Westminster at around age 3. Directly after graduating from Westminster High School in 1974, Mike went to work for US Steel- Oil Well Division in Long Beach; working in the pump shop, where he learned from the ground up. He then worked for Page Oil Tool as a salesman for a couple of years.
Mike, along with his partners Jim Hurd and Tom Cacek , opened Black Gold Pump & Supply on April 1, 1982. Mike had previously worked with Jim Hurd at US Steel, where Jim worked as a salesman. Mike had worked with Tom at Page Oil Tool, where Tom worked as a machinist.
Chevron had approached Jim and Mike with the idea of opening a pump shop and guaranteed all of Chevron’s business if they did."
