Joined Legacy Reserves after serving as a principal at GSO Capital Partners, where he was involved in the sourcing, structuring, evaluation and management of debt and equity investments for public and private companies in the energy and power industries. Previously worked in investment banking at J.P. Morgan’s Global Energy Group. “I moved to Legacy so I could play a significant and long-term role in shaping the direction of the company. This management team has big ambitions and a common commitment to God, family and work.”
Accomplishments: In less than a full quarter on the job at Legacy, helped the company complete the largest acquisition in its history with $520 million of Permian Basin assets. Led the company’s inaugural launch of senior notes in the fall of 2012. “In about six months time, we raised $750 million in long-term capital helping reshape the balance sheet to provide sufficient liquidity for our acquisition strategy.” Stanford graduate with a bachelor’s in science technology and society and a master’s in management science. Sits on board of directors for Peace Gospel International, a nonprofit charitable organization caring for orphans and widows in Asia and Africa through small business enterprise initiatives. Member of IPAA tax board.
His mantra: “1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: ‘Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks.’ I think the verse puts a perspective that irrespective of your situation, or circumstances, God has put you in a specific place and he commands a specific mindset.”
Goals: “Professionally, to help grow Legacy into a world-class people development organization that generates a growing, sustainable distribution to our unitholders. Personally, to be a better husband and father of four.”
