In September of 1999 Southern Directional Inc. was founded by, Matt, Tina and Gerald Calma, with a clear vision: to serve with integrity, lead with purpose, and treat people like family. What began as a small, family-rooted operation has grown into a trusted name in the industry, built on hard work, integrity, and a relentless commitment to people-first values.
From our early days navigating our first directional drilling projects to expanding our services across the region, every step of our journey has been guided by a deep belief in doing the right thing and taking care of people. We’ve weathered challenges, embraced innovation, and built a team of leaders who take pride in their work and ownership in our mission.
Our legacy is not just in the miles we’ve drilled or the projects we’ve completed, it’s in the relationships we’ve built, the families we’ve supported, and the leaders we’ve developed along the way. As we look to the future, we remain grounded in the same principles that got us here, honoring our past, empowering our team, and building a legacy that makes a difference for generations to come.
