Chris Kjorstad standing in the Arizona desert

Hey, I'm Chris.

Builder. Founder. Veteran. Occasional desert dweller.

I build software for the people who build America. Small trucking companies, oilfield crews, the folks who keep things moving. If you're working on something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.

The short version

I spent a decade in the North Dakota oil fields. Started on drilling rigs with Schlumberger and Halliburton, worked my way into field sales and operations, and eventually helped build PetroPath, the leading O&G well navigation app.

Before all that, I was a Combat Engineer in the Army National Guard. That's where I learned that the best systems are the simple ones that actually work when it matters.

Rigs, routes, real estate, the Army ... turns out everything I've done comes back to logistics and getting people where they need to go. These days I run DispatchDeck — fleet management software for small trucking companies. Dispatch, billing, compliance, the whole stack. I built it because I watched dispatchers at my family's trucking company drown in spreadsheets, whiteboards, and group texts. There's a better way.

I also hold an Arizona real estate broker's license, because apparently I collect careers like some people collect stamps.

I'm based in Williston, North Dakota. Yes, it's cold. Yes, I like it.
