Before the sun comes up, and before his shift even starts, Devin Samaha is already working up a sweat—scaling the stairs of Chevron’s Houston, Texas, headquarters, sometimes with a sandbag slung over his shoulder.
But for him, this isn’t just a workout. It’s a ritual rooted in his Marine Corps days.
“Exercise is how I stay sharp,” said Samaha, an exploration drilling engineer.
Samaha added that his military service instilled an unwavering sense of integrity, a relentless drive for perfection, and an enthusiastic commitment to any mission, which he brings to every task and opportunity at Chevron.
“The discipline, adaptability and mission-focused leadership I honed in uniform—combined with a deep sense of camaraderie—enable me to build strong, collaborative teams that prioritize safety and deliver projects with precision under pressure,” Samaha said. “The problem-solving skills, resilience and enthusiasm for new challenges forged in high-stress environments drive innovative solutions, foster a supportive workplace culture and ensure the highest standards of safety and excellence.”
