David R. Thieme, currently the Vice President of Downstream Key Accounts for Bill Spitzer and Associates.

"I have been in the oil and gas industry for 11+ years with a primary focus on downstream mega-projects and in-plant reliability solutions. In the 11+ years of being in the business I have developed relationships with the largest oil and gas companies in the world and have become a technical resource globally. I strive daily to educate myself on changing market conditions, the latest industry technology and ways to make my team and company successful. By doing this I have become well accomplished, receiving various industry awards and certifications. With my years of professional experience and an education from Lamar University (BBA Industrial Engineering) I am able to deploy my skill set of education, relationships, research and team building to the Foundation for Southeast Texas and other organizations that I am associated with. As a board member I have been focused with educating myself on the operations of the organization, history and how we support to the community. During my time on the board I will support the mission and hope to make a difference in our community."
