I met Mike (Mikey) when I first moved to Houston from Denver in early 1989. I was getting my first field exposure to Texas land work and Mike, John Patterson and Bill Murray (two of the other people we worked with from Texas) were on a big lease play for UPRC in the Austin Chalk working Fayette (La Grange) and Lee (Giddings) Counties. Mike, John and Bill all helped me transition from Rockies land work to Texas land work which was a culture shock to say the least!! Basically it seemed like I could take everything learned working as a landman in Colorado and other states in the Rockies that I worked for 10 years and turn it around 180 degrees and that was Texas. The first time I saw the word “vara” I thought WTF!! Only a Texas landman would understand that as a vara is a Spanish form of measurement that = 2.7778’.
Anyway, Mike, John and Bill were my mentors in Texas and I will be forever grateful. Mike was one of the sharpest attorneys I’ve ever met and the fact that he loved doing the field work as a landman for a fraction of what he could have made working as an attorney in an office shows the type of person he was!! I was so happy when he met Trudy as we were both working in Cleburne when it happened. He ditched me and went into Fort Worth sometimes to get away from all the red necks or me for that matter!!
All my love Mikey and go with God my brother!!

We were in law school together. Good guy and good friend. The last time I saw him was probably 10 plus years ago. He was in Comanche doing title work and he came to my office in the court house.
