From Apache Pilot to Energy Entrepreneur: Korey McDavid’s Journey in Military, Oil, and Business
Join Bill and his guest Korey McDavid. Korey went to Clemson and graduated in 2008. He was commissioned into theArmy and selected to fly Apache helicopters. Korey graduated from flight school in 2011 and deployed to Iraq immediately following. He returned to Charleston in the summer of 2012 and continued flying with the South Carolina National Guard. Interested in the Oil and Gas industry, he started piloting remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in the Gulf of Mexico for various oil companies performing subsea construction and surveys. Oil rig life was not conducive to family life, so Korey started working for Kinder Morgan, in Chicago, where he stored and transported various petroleum and petrochemical products. After a couple of years, he was offered the opportunity to move back to Charleston and manage a terminal for Kinder Morgan. At the Charleston terminal, Korey and his team would bring in bulk ships of refined petroleum products, store them, and load trucks to serve the greater Charleston fuel market. While at Kinder he also got his MBA from the University of Oklahoma with a focus in energy. This is where he got the itch to start his own business, and Juiced Fuel was born.
