Once upon a time, in 2001, an adventurer packed up his life and set off on a month-long trip to the lush and vibrant land of Costa Rica. But little did he know, this vacation would be the start of an incredible journey and a wild ride that would change his life forever.
With his wife and two young boys by his side, he embarked on a mission to find his forever home in this foreign land. Armed with nothing but a dream and 7 overflowing suitcases, the adventurer arrived at Juan Santa Maria airport in San Jose, ready to make his mark on the world.
He had a vision of buying property, splitting it into lots and selling them for profit. But, when he purchased a parcel near the bustling town of Nosara, he soon realized that he would need to drill a well in order to service the lots. And as fate would have it, this seasoned adventurer was a driller by trade.
After conducting interviews with several local drilling companies, he saw a gap in the market and an opportunity to offer quality drilling services. And thus, his drilling company was born. He and his team became specialists in all types of subterranean extraction, with a focus on delivering top-notch results, no matter the challenge.
35+ years of drilling experience, 21 of which were spent tackling the toughest drilling conditions in Costa Rica, he knew he was the best man for the job. He promised to take the stress off his clients’ hands, and to always deliver a quality job at a fair price.
With their corporate office located in Naranjo, Alajuela, just 15 minutes from the San Jose airport, this adventurer’s story is a testament to the power of following your dreams and never giving up.
