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.

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.”
