Ms. Faust began her career in the oil and gas industry when she moved to Houston from her hometown of New Orleans in 1998 to work for a small offshore independent. In 2000 she became Marketing Director for then start-up, DrillingInfo as one of their first hires. After aiding in the growth of DrillingInfo to over 5,000 clients and 60+ employees, Melinda resigned from DI in 2004 to pursue an opportunity in the racing/motorsport industry with Tracy W.
