He became an entrepreneur early in life by starting a small cattle herd at age 12 which ultimately grew into the Rafter O Cattle Company\, a partnership with his three brothers which at its peak owned over 500 head of cattle. \nHe paid his own way through college\, graduating with honors from Texas A&M University in 1976 with a BBA in Accounting. \nEarned Texas Certified Public Accountancy (CPA) license in 1978 \nMarried a Stratford girl\, Gina Bass\, in 1978 \nGraduated from Houston Baptist University with MBA degree in 1985 \nWorked for a “Big 8” accounting firm for a few years\, followed by 30 years in the oil & gas business\, 20 of which were in “C” level positions for public and private companies; culminating as President and CEO of Phoenix Exploration Company\, one of the fastest growing companies in Houston during 2006-2008. \nIn 2009\, frustrated by the destructive legislation coming out of Washington\, he retired from the private sector to run for Congress. In November 2010\, he beat an incumbent Congressman by the largest margin of victory that election cycle. \nIn Congress\, he serves on the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee; and in 2014\, his House colleagues elected him to serve as Chairman of the Republican Study Committee\, the largest and most influential caucus in the U.S. Congress. \nCurrent governance positions:\n– Vice-Chairman\, Houston Baptist University Board of Trustees\n– Board of Directors\, Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI)\n– Board of Directors\, Texas A&M Private Enterprise Research Center (PERC)\n– External Advisory Board\, Texas A&M Energy Institute \nLookging forward to seeing everyone there!
