Briefly describe what you do
|
I own and manage TrinAca Investment Corp which is a parent company to multiple other investment entities in the oil and gas exploration field. Our website gives more details. |
|

What are the key skills, abilities, and personal qualities necessary to succeed in this type of work? |
An entrepreneurial spirit, not afraid of risks...it helped to be 3rd generation in my family in this business, I will admit. |
|
What do you enjoy most about your current position? |
The freedom to explore new possibilities without having to answer to a large corporate structure. |

Most important/valuable lesson or activity in college that impacted your career |
Interaction with a local SA law firm that ended up producing an investor for my father's company. |
|
What advice for someone entering this field?
|
Don't go into oil and gas thinking
it's an easy way to get rich; contrary to what the
public thinks, this is a hard way to make a living,
but can be very rewarding. Surround yourself with
extremely knowledgeable people...we are not nearly
as "brilliant" |
