“Our office is honest, intense and challenging. We’re really tough, and we work very hard. We demand a lot of ourselves and of one another, but we take good care of each other.” In 2013, was elected to the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders class for a five-year term.
On natural gas as a transportation fuel: “The U.S. is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas, yet only 3% of our natural gas is used for transportation. It’s shocking that, as part of national discourse, we’re not having more serious conversations about incentivizing advanced natural gas engine and tank technologies, the American Natural Gas Highway or the requisite infrastructure.”
Goals: “Our industry lacks the credible, honest, authentic thought leadership necessary to communicate with policymakers and the U.S. public at large about the scale of our unconventional hydrocarbon resources and the implications of impending North American energy independence and the impending U.S. manufacturing revolution.”
