David is a seasoned energy professional and market analyst with a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas. David began his career with Purvin & Gertz, Inc. David participated in numerous petroleum and refining industry studies for international oil and gas companies, state-owned oil companies, refiners and petroleum marketers. His public notoriety moment occurred when he was the lead analyst among all oil analysts to forecast the crude oil collapse of 1998. He was on the front page of USA Today March 10, 1998 and also made appearances on various other publications and radio shows.
After several years with Purvin & Gertz, David joined Deloitte Consulting to broaden his consulting skills, provide market insights to the energy industry and participate in developing technological tools to assist the energy industry.
In 2002, David joined American Electric Power (AEP) in Columbus, Ohio with an initial assignment on the oil trading desk. After the Enron collapse, AEP downsized to concentrate on its core business model; namely, power and utilities. This move by the company forced David to adapt by redirecting his attention and focus from the international oil market to power and utility markets.
In 7 years, David received 5 promotions and became the youngest Managing Director in the history of AEP. Responsibilities included directing a team of analysts and assist in developing the company’s strategic plan. David also directed AEP’s forecasts for economic growth, load demand and supply/demand and price forecasts for a host of commodities; including: oil, natural gas, coal, emissions, metals, and power.
David founded and manages All Energy Consulting. The mission at All Energy Consulting is to positively and evocatively challenge the current thinking involving any aspect of energy use (Oil, Gas, Coal, Power).
