John Konrad
John Konrad is the author, along with journalist Tom Shroder, of Fire on the Horizon: The Untold Story of the Gulf Oil Disaster, which chronicles the initial construction, crewmembers' existence, and eventual disaster aboard the oil rig Deepwater Horizon.[1] For the book, Konrad used his insight as an oil rig captain and his seven years of experience as an employee of Transocean, one of the world's largest offshore drilling contractors and owner of the Deepwater Horizon.[2][3]
In an interview with Failure Magazine, Konrad said:
I wrote the book because I wanted to find out what happened. The guys on the rig, the guys in Transocean’s offices, the government officials—no one had the full story. I wanted to get all the stories and piece them together.[4]
Konrad is also the founder of gCaptain, a maritime and offshore news blog.[5] He is a graduate of SUNY Maritime College and he lives in Morro Bay, California.
