Any fiduciary relationship that includes real estate or oil and gas in its portfolio has unique management requirements that extend to proper accounting and constantly changing circumstances that can have significant impact on the value of trust property. During my trust banking career, I held management responsibility for the Real Estate and Oil and Gas Group for over twenty years. During this period, I negotiated hundreds of leases, purchases and sales of mineral and surface properties as well as investments in real estate and oil and gas assets. In addition, I have served as President of Matagorda Oil Company and Trinity Petroleum Corporation.
