I Graduated from the University of Tulsa in 1970 with a BS/BA in Accounting. Worked for Sinclair/ARCO, Clinton Oil, TransOcean Oil, Tesoro Petroleum and Exeter Exploration before returning to Tulsa as Chief Financial Officer with Chase Exploration in 1980.. I Married Klara in 1981, and began independent joint-venture (contract compliance) audit work in 1982, auditing domestic and international oil and gas exploration and production operations.. I have two children, Lara and Brian, ten grand-children, and four great-grandchildren, and both of my parents are still living..I love to travel (47 states and 68 countries, so far), fly airplanes, sail, and try to learn new languages.
