SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Managed two Louisiana exploration and development staffs at Unocal and discovered approximately

implemented continuous training, performance management, and project management. Discovered
individually or in teams approximately six new fields and developed ten others, onshore and offshore
Louisiana Gulf Coast with cumulative results being hundreds of millions of dollars of corporate value.
Delivered an average of three drillable exploration prospects per year with a 30% rate of drilling
success resulting in significant new reserves (estimated gross value per prospect $40M (1995 dollars).
Managing an ongoing successful geosciences consulting firm serving several independent companies,
reviewing exploration, exploitation, and development of energy reserves, and royalty acquisitions.
I am currently manager of the exploration and development departments at Orbit Energy Company.
Responsibilities include prospect generation from subsurface tied to proprietary 3D, seismic data
management, sales, and soliciting investors with the result being multiple drilling operations. I have had
multiple successes with Orbit Energy and have contributed to this company deriving its current working

are greater than $100 MM to date. My department has a large inventory of ready to drill projects that I
