I am very receptive to a diverse range of projects that need a creative solution for unique and complex projects.
Decades of experience in the financial industry across many different industries. I am experienced with non-traditional financing structures. I don’t have any mandates. I listen to the best of breed business plans and don’t have any pre-conceived notions. I have established relationships with NYSE listed firms, investment bankers, and family offices.
Important to have an experienced operator to monitor all the moving parts. Long term contracts are essential. Location is the key. The facility needs to have roads, rail and docks for ships or barges.
Oil and gas will be around for a very long time. Besides energy, it is used in over 66,000 products. So let’s find and encourage ways to make it cleaner, reduce the sulfur and CO2. Clean fuels include propane, natural gas biofuels and hydrogen. It is critical to have an experienced operator to monitor all the moving parts. Long term contracts are essential. Location is the key. The facility should have roads, rail and docks for ships or barges.
Investors have very narrow mandates, which is why I am connected to institutional, SFO, hospitals and foundations. My experience includes iron deficiency, skin creams for eczema, dry skin and rashes, prevention of the side effects of chemo and radiation, diabetic retinopathy.
Highways are getting more and more congested and getting containers to crowded ports makes the trip all that more expensive and time consuming. Using rail is not only cheaper but it significantly reduces CO2. Regulations for truckers are burdensome. Finding qualified drivers is a challenge. We can look at private transportation projects as well as P3 projects. There are few if any shipping contracts with customers, rail and ocean carriers. Therefore, it is important to understand the industry.
They are our future but getting there is a long and expensive process. The regulatory process is improving. We are thirsty for more electricity and with the emerging data centers and AI being a major factor the demand is skyrocketing. Many are using new designs and new types of fuel. They are Net Zero and once commissioned, will produce energy for decades and are not weather dependent. In addition to small modular reactors, micro reactors can be placed in more locations with their own grid.
Obviously an endeavor that requires a lot of expertise and due diligence. I wrote a lot of performance and payment bonds for projects on tribal land. It takes a lot of due diligence and expert legal advice from experienced attorneys. I work with a NYSE firm that funded a $500,000,000 project.

$75,000,000 Term Sheet for a midstream oil project. It was comprised of oil storage terminals with roads, rail and docks for barges. It also involved constructing a plant that uses a chemical process to remove sulfur and contaminants from high sulfur fuel. While the process is proven, it has never been commercialized, which made getting a term sheet very challenging.
$130,000,000 Term Sheet for a private intermodal project to ship containers internationally. Getting a term sheet was very difficult because it was private and not a government or big corporate facility. The industry does not have long-term guaranteed contracts; it is a transactional industry. No matter the documented need, it is difficult for the investor to understand.
I was asked by a power producer that provides electricity to many utilities to help them get the Phase 1 initial funding for a multi-billion-dollar SMR. I was able to do that. The power producer is moving forward with a global firm that is providing funding for different phases. The total cost will be in the billions, and it is anticipated it will get the majority of the funding from the government.
