Keaton Turner & Eric Thran: Drama Kills

September 6, 2023

No one understands the saying, "If it's not farmed, it's mined" quite like Equipment Maintenance Supervisor, Eric Thran. With decades of experience in both farming and frac sand mining, Eric joins Keaton and Thomas to talk about the transition from life as a dairy farmer to a mine supervisor traveling the country. He dives into his experiences navigating challenging managers, working alongside his wife, and how he's forged a successful career in a completely new industry.
