Michael Pickens

Hi, I'm Michael Pickens, General Partner of Petroleum Exploration LLP

---

Michael Pickens has worked with the best in both the Wall Street world and the Recovery world. I have drilled and operated my own oil & gas wells. Boone Pickens is my father. I've never been the beneficiary of a trust fund or inheritance of any kind - I put myself through college trading equity options & working bread and butter jobs. By the time I was finished going to school, I had worked 25 different jobs, beginning at age 10. My primary purpose today is to add all that I am able to the stream of life. The personal growth I'€™ve been blessed with, over the last 6 years, has given me a new life, a life I never had. I've developed a strong, focused desire to give back what was so freely given to me and to help others become the very best they can be; to find themselves and maximize their own personal growth. I strive to be my very best, as a father to my 2 wonderfully talented and gifted children, and husband to my beautiful, loving & caring wife of 25 years. I am a FAA licensed pilot since I was 17. I am a 4 handicap golfer.
