It is one that begins with a childhood in the Philippine Islands that improbably segues into teaching high school in South Dakota and then leads to becoming a '70s traveling musician, long hair and all. When it became time to pursue a more sustainable endeavor, Gene began an apprenticeship as a landman, starting out one frigid winter in North Dakota. As he gradually learned the ropes, he turned his early experiences into a successful career in the oil business. The highs and lows, economic successes and failures, and the pure boom-bust cycles of the oil business are all chronicled here. Through it all, Gene's creativity and ability to laugh at life's absurdities--and there are plenty of those in the book--have sustained him. This is a classic American success story, one not to be missed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 04, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53429851062579,"sku":"9781524688776","price":28.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/9k0dp0sOiQ9781524688776.webp?v=1780647032","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/my-life-as-a-landman-a-memoir-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
