Butch began working in the Oilfield industry in 1985 and co-founded Diamond Energy Services in 1996 starting with one service rig. Over time, Diamond has grown into the leading service rig provider in southwestern Saskatchewan and continues to support not only customers but the community as well. This includes Swift Current Minor Hockey, the South Saskatchewan Female Hockey League and numerous other community and fundraising committees. Separate from community involvement, Mr. Gering is also a director at Great Plains College and Vice Chair of Sask Water.
