As a finance and sustainability professional with over 30 years of experience, I specialize in advancing the low-carbon transition within the upstream oil and gas sector. As the Founder of Offset Energy Partners (OEP), Co-Founder of OFX EcoSolutions (OFX) and BB&M Materials, and Co-Founder of Sentinel Detection Systems (SDS), I work with globally recognized teams dedicated to leveraging innovation, nature-based solutions, and carbon markets to promote decarbonization initiatives within the U.S. and abroad.At OEP, I focus on low-carbon materials, decarbonization and carbon market solutions to drive the energy transition through carbon finance. Through strategic partnerships, we create sustainability solutions that utilize biomass to energy tech and can decarbonize upstream oil and gas and mining operations through BiRCS and emissions mitigation strategies. All while generating carbon removal and/or reduction credits that also satisfy multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).BB&M Materials, a portfolio company under OEP, is collaborating with major stakeholders, in developing IP for biomass carbon sequestration protocols, as well as carbon-neutral to negative cementing materials for plugging wells and built environment applications.Sentinel Detection Systems is a small team of emissions monitoring experts developing a patent-pending, low-cost methane detection system for in-situ monitoring of oil and gas wells. This addresses the industry's need to manage long-term emissions from marginal, idled, and plugged wells due to new EPA regulations and environmental concerns. Effective monitoring is crucial for adopting emerging carbon credit methodologies targeting orphaned or marginal wells, which can be major methane emitters.My entrepreneurial journey began in 2008 when I co-founded a boutique private equity firm focused on oil and gas mineral acquisitions. This venture introduced crowdfunding investment opportunities in the industry and successfully launched over 10 mineral and royalty investment funds. My extensive experience in corporate administration, legal matters, and financial operations laid the foundation for my current advisory roles across sectors including oil & gas, hemp, biochar, carbon markets and eco-services.Let’s connect if you’re interested in decarbonization solutions or exploring new collaboration opportunities.
