My name is Gary Newman, I am the driller; and my wife is my wife Tamra Newman, together we are Southern Oregon Well Drilling. I was born in Lakeview, Oregon and my family has been in Southern Oregon for six generations. I graduated high school in Gilchrist, Oregon. After high school I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where I served as a Security Escort with the Strategic Air Commands Nuclear Weapons Program. After being honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force, I attended the Oregon Institute of Technology majoring in Diesel Power Technology. During college I began commercial fishing in Alaska. I alternated between going to sea, and when home, working as a well driller. Thanks to the training I received at OIT, I was able to pass the test required by the U.S. Coast Guard to become a Licensed Chief Engineer with the U.S. Merchant Marines. I hold three "Unlimited" Chief Engineer Licenses with the United States Coast Guard. After being shipwrecked in the South Pacific my wife and I decided to take advantage of opportunity and start our own company. Rather than build our reputation on the work of others, we decided to strike out on our own and Southern Oregon Well Drilling was born.
We are not a big operation and we are not ashamed of this. We are serious about quality work and will only do the best job possible. While others make concessions with workmanship and materials, we DO NOT. We are honest and we have the equipment to get the job done. Your job and your needs are important to us. We want the opportunity to earn your trust, your business, and your friendship. I promise a year after we have done a job for you, we will still remember your name. I will personally answer your phone calls, I don't rely on office help or answering machines, I believe in customer service and look forward to talking with all my customers past, present, or future.
We are very proud to note that Fred Krasner of Pioneer Drilling (retired), Joaquin Medina of Medina Well Drilling (retired), and Daryl Baker of Ashland Drilling (retired), have all referred customers to Southern Oregon Well Drilling. We gratefully acknowledge the support Jerry Cordonier of Artesain Drilling provided prior to his passing. We are the ONLY drilling company in Southern Oregon recommended by all four of these retired drillers. That is an honor. I would like to invite you to give us a call or email anytime you have a question about well drilling or just to chat. Thank you for the opportunity to let us serve you.
