He has more than 20 years of energy-industry experience and is a well-known business leader and results-oriented entrepreneur. Mr. Davis was instrumental in founding Crosstex in 1996.

Mr. Davis engineered a management-led buyout of Comstock Natural Gas, Inc. in 1996 and formed Crosstex Energy Services. Prior to establishing Ventana, Mr. Davis served as vice president of marketing and project development for Endevco, Inc. and worked in the marketing group at Enserch Exploration.
