Williston, ND – Ever wonder what it's like to live and work in the oil patch? Today, "Black Gold Boom" Reporter Todd Melby interviews David Unkenholz, a trust officer at First International Bank and Trust in Watford City. Unkenholz has a bachelor's degree and a law degree from the University of North Dakota.

Before hitting the books, Unkenholz worked on a drilling rig. His job was in "Worm's Corner," one of the dirtiest, most dangerous ones on the rig.
