Growing up on a family farm outside a small town in southeast Texas, I learned early in life to pull my weight to make ends meet. We raised most of our own food including meat, vegetables, dairy and the like. Everything we ate, we grew or processed ourselves with cash crops paying for the rest. This experience shaped my work ethic, resourcefulness, and ability to see and assess things objectively, as getting emotionally attached was not a viable option.Today as an entrepreneurial global business builder and leader I combine those early life lessons with technical, operational and executive acumen to create high performing organizations in the oil/gas/energy industry. I am skilled in identifying critical success drivers and leading teams to deliver on aggressive targets. My broad business experience and savvy has enabled me to deliver double digit rates of return (IRR) and tens of millions of dollars in corporate value. Through analytical skills, strategic thinking and financial knowhow with inspirational leadership, communication skills, and relentless energy I deliver results in key areas.Top and Bottom-Line Growth – Identified underserved mid-cap project market, developed strategy to capture it, built sales and operations teams to execute, generating 2X revenues deep into seven figures.
