Helped build Evercore’s oil and gas A&D advisory business. Most recently served as director at Scotia Waterous where he was primarily involved with A&D for E&P clients.

Began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers and then Ocean Energy where he gained experience in the oil and gas industry. Landed on the A&D side after graduating from business school, and stayed because of the people and transactional environment.

Holds an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin and a BS in accounting from Louisiana State University.

Accomplishments: Advised companies such as Linn Energy LLC, Encana Corp., Hibernia Resources LLC, Midstates Petroleum Co. Inc., EP Energy LLC, Panther Energy Co. LLC, Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. and Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc., among others, on transactions involving more than $12 billion worth of oil and gas assets.

Above all else, considers working alongside his colleagues at Evercore as one of his biggest achievements. “Something that I’m the most proud of is helping to build a high-quality team at Evercore over a short period of time.”

On the most satisfying part of his job: “Larger public company transactions are very well received in the market, but, from a personal standpoint, oftentimes working with entrepreneurs as they find a way to successfully sell the company they built is more rewarding.”

A word to the wise: “Work hard, work with good people and find your niche.”

Goals: Focus on family at home and maintain a strong team at Evercore. “The No. 1 thing right now is to keep the team together and to continue working with good people. It’s one thing to build it. It’s another to keep it together.”
