Jim says it best: I am an Operator with 48 years of “experiences”, I’d like to say “I don’t have any particular strengths” I prefer to work with Operators to help them run their own systems more efficiently. They know their systems best. I’m just a sounding board. A lot of times talking it through leads to a solution.
