25 years ago I formed Concessions International, Inc. for the purpose of consulting for oil companies to assist them in securing concessions opportunities that are available on an exclusive non-competitive basis. I conduct studies to determine the commercial potential of the upstream opportunities and negotiate the concession contract agreements to secure the rights to develop these opportunities. I also forms consortiums for bidding on concessions and assisting companies in finding farming partners for their prospects worldwide. I also assist in helping companies merge and secure private equity and I.P.O. funds via the capital markets. I have consulted for hundreds of oil companies including INA-Naftaplin, Sinopec, Encana, El Paso, Conoco and Santos.

I am the founder and C.E.O. of a non-profit charity, Petroleum Foundation of America, Inc. The purpose of this organization is to provide energy and fertilizers to the poor, specifically in developing countries. The organization is primarily involved in making use of wasted flare gas and gas from undeveloped gas fields worldwide to provide fuel for cooking and heating for the rural poor. In addition the organization is using these gas resources to generate electricity and to produce fertilizers to help increase crop yields in countries where periodic famine is a major problem. It should be noted that much of Concessions International's income from consulting services has been used to support PFA and its charitable activities.
