Generator Innovations and 90s Kids
Reading Time: 3 minutesBack in the last century there was a movement in advertising that labeled most products as “New and Improved”. Not many of us back then could tell what was actually new and what was improved. As such, the early-90s included a healthy dose of corporate disdain. Now it wasn’t necessarily boycotts or embargos on products […]
We Bulit an Engine
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen an individual becomes a parent, one of the most rewarding aspects of the job is witnessing the “firsts.” First steps, first taste of ice cream, first time riding a bike, and first tooth to name a few. The best memories end up lodged in your mind and many times it is the funny moments […]
Remote Monitoring Technology for Service

Limited Edition Stickers!
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe oilfield is an amazing place. There is something special about the dusty expanse where the only movement is a few jackrabbits and the lonely pumpjack. No matter if you are in North Dakota, Texas, or offshore in the Gulf, there is an abundance of open space in every direction. The people who work out […]
Happy Birthday America!
Reading Time: 3 minutesTwo hundred and fifty years. What is Mesa doing to commemorate this historic anniversary?

Okay, so it is purely by coincidence and the fact that our contractor, Caspar Building Systems, is wrapping up construction early. […]
Safety and Leadership
Reading Time: 3 minutesAs much as we like to keep the mood light around here, there are a few things that Mesa holds sacred, leadership and safety being two of them. As I have said before, Mesa is built on three pillars: Safety, Quality, and Productivity. While none of these concepts is greater than the other, we are […]
