Mike Poston Was Meant For Energy

In this article, we profile Mike Poston, chief executive and president and of WeamcoMetric, a Tulsa-based company that has focused on providing measurement-related products and services to the oil and gas industry for 40 years. During the interview, it becomes readily apparent that Poston is a very spiritual individual, strongly devoted to his family, his business and his industry. P&GJ: What were your interests when you were younger and what made you decide to get into the energy business?
