  • About me

    From working my way through college while raising a family, to creating Board Packages in Global multi-billion $ E&P companies when I was just starting my accounting and finance career, to helping grow a Public Utility’s Energy Trading subsidiary, to co-founding a small Energy Services company, to working in PE owned companies as the Head of Finance /Accounting, I thought that I had seen it all. However, in the last few years, we have seen historically low rig counts, negative oil prices, a Global Pandemic, Supply and Demand issues, deepening political issues both domestically and internationally and skyrocketing inflation - and I thought that the Energy Sector Rollercoaster was fun! Over the last several years as the CFO of The SDB Group (a Master Distributor of Steel & Pipe and PVFF), I have had to utilize all my 30+ years of experience in Operations and Finance, as well as my educational foundation which includes a BBA (Accounting), a MBA (Finance), a CPA, and Six Sigma Training, to help SDB’s stakeholders – both internal and external - successfully navigate this trying and ever dynamic business climate. As a partner to, student of, and mentor to an entrepreneurial CEO, my fellow executives, all SDB staff, Banks, CPA firms, and insurance companies, the SDB Group will continue to grow organically and via acquisition and has never been stronger: experiencing record sales and profits year after year. So, for those of you that have endured my dry sense of humor during these extremely challenging times, thank you and buckle up, it's not over yet...
