Corbin Fitzner
I got my start in the oilfield at 19, gaining experience in fabrication, frac, roustabout work, and well service before spending most of my career on the drilling side. I joined Rise Capital Group to take the next step from oilfield hand to oilman. I’ve always enjoyed working with people and helping them succeed. I fell in love with oil and gas a long time ago, and that passion is still as strong as ever. A driller once told me not to let it get in my blood. It’s too late for that.
