Six years ago, Tony recognized a need to become educated about the various intricacies the oil and gas industry. It was at that time that he started seeing people working for some of the major oil and gas companies in the country going from farm to farm in the Tri-State trying to get people to sign papers and talking people into contracts that weren’t, in most cases, in the people’s best interest. Tony then began devoting most of his time to assisting landowners in an effort to obtain for them fair prices for their land and mineral interests. In the work that Tony has done, he has been able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for people across the Tri-State for bonus and royalty payments.

Also negotiated contracts with Jim Dewbre of Southwestern Energy, and with most of the principals of the energy companies that are currently operating in Marcellus/Utica shale.
