Tulsa, OK
Rusty Pike knows heavy equipment like most people know their coffee order. A Tulsa native and third-generation oil field hand, he spent twenty years working industrial maintenance and construction before finding a second career as a writer. Rusty now authors guides on industrial services, manufacturing safety, and logistics for trade-focused publications. He holds multiple OSHA certifications and still carries a well-worn copy of the API standards in his truck. His writing is straightforward, precise, and completely free of fluff just like a good toolbox talk. When he’s not touring a plant floor or breaking down a new regulation, Rusty is likely at a dirt track race or casting a line in the Arkansas River.
