    In this episode of The WildCast, we sit down with David Haughton, Director of Training for our Fishing Services at Wildcat Oil Tools, as he shares his journey through the fishing tool industry.

    Growing up in an oil industry family, David’s career began in electronics but soon shifted to the fishing tool business in 1971. Over the years, he advanced from a truck driver to significant roles in offshore operations, eventually contributing to the industry’s knowledge through a co-authored the book "THE GUIDE TO OILWELL FISHING OPERATIONS".

    After retiring due to the pandemic, David was brought on by Wildcat Oil Tools to create a fishing school, where he emphasizes the artistry, problem-solving, and critical thinking needed in the field.
