Enron traded in European, Australian, and Japanese electricity, European natural gas markets, and worldwide oil, credit, and metals markets. Prior to joining Enron in 1994, he was a vice president at American Hunter Energy, and before that, he acted as director of corporate sales at Pacific Gas & Electric Company in San Francisco. For the last 10 years, his business has been investing in commercial lawsuits with Lake Tahoe Financial, in which he buys a share of the plaintiff’s potential proceeds in their litigation.
