Dyke Hicks earned a BS in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Iowa and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State. He joined Kiefner in 2015 after nearly seven years with Koch Pipeline, LLC, and 13 years with Baker Hughes. 

His career began with working in the energy sector, recording and interpreting information from oil and gas wells on land and offshore. He then moved into pipeline integrity, helping to develop a new inspection system for complex pipelines. 

He was involved in tool design, data interpretation, and managing this division’s U.S. Operations. He then moved to Koch Pipeline, LLC, and worked within the integrity group. 

There, he managed the daily integrity operations development of a data integration system and focused on some of the more challenging problems pipeline operators face. He also took a field assignment to help develop project managers.

He currently works with Kiefner as Operations Director. His primary focus is presently on In-Line Inspection, Project Management, and improving collaboration across the company to increase the efficacy of our efforts to improve integrity management for pipeline systems and developing projects.
