Highly respected convenience store industry executive. An innovative leader focused on delivering change and driving profitability across the fuel supply chain. The most successful companies anticipate change and blaze the trail forward. Great leaders don't settle for the status quo. I believe in not only challenging the status quo, but shattering it and breaking through to new possibilities. I've played hockey my entire life and lessons on the ice have carried me far in business. Wayne Gretzky's, "Skate to where the puck is going" is about anticipation and insight into where the business is headed. If you're skating to where the puck is now, you're chasing the competition and will always be behind. In order to skate to where the puck is going you have the vision to predict the next move then be comfortable with the risk and position yourself to cover the other possibilities. What this all means is that skating to where the puck is going is a learned behavior that takes years of experience. I am all about data driven decisions, but with black swan events like a pandemic there is no data. My 30+ years of experience in the oil and energy business with world class organizations such as ExxonMobil and Sheetz, has helped me develop the instincts and business savvy to navigate uncharted waters. Let me take you to where the business is going!Fuel is my passion. I am active in industry organizations and have been a frequent speaker at events for NACS (National Association of Convenience Stores), The Fuels Institute, CERA (Cambridge Energy Research Association), SIGMA (Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America), Growth Energy, Convenience Store News, CSP/CRU (Convenience Retailing University), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). I've also testified on the state and federal levels as an industry leader to facilitate change in the fuel industry.
