Prior to joining Merrill Lynch, he was in charge of marketing natural gas production for Phillips Petroleum and Burlington Resources.  That production covered the San Juan Basin, Permian Basin, Gulf Coast and North Louisiana.

His interest in LNG started in the summer of 1979 when he worked as a summer intern at Phillips Petroleum’s Kenai, Alaska LNG plant.
