BELL CAPITAL
After graduating from the University of Saskatchewan College of Law in 1996 I articled in Calgary and then practiced securities and corporate finance law for over eight years with large national and regional firms with a focus on energy deals. I founded Bell Capital in 2004 and had a practice of advising energy companies raising capital and completing M&A transactions for energy and oilfield service companies. Bell Capital raised over $300 million in debt and equity capital over ten years. Since 2014 I have been full time in house counsel with various organizations. First with ENMAX Corporation ($6 Billion asset utility), then the MSA of Alberta (Public Agency). I'm now Senior Counsel with a large private US based non profit.
Over my career I've had various officer and board roles including: Market Surveillance Administrator of Alberta (Corporate Secretary 2015 to 2018), Pebble Creek Mining Ltd. (Director) and predecessor, Broadcast Capital Corp. (CEO and Director 2005-2007), Carvelle Capital Corp./Lexoil Inc. (Corporate Secretary & Director 2001-2003), Energize Oil and Gas Ltd. (CEO and Director 2003-2009), Partners REIT (General Counsel and Corporate Secretary 2012), Poseidon Capital Corp. (founding shareholder 2005), Marengo Oil & Gas Ltd. (Corporate Secretary 1997-2000), Bell Capital Corp. (CEO and General Counsel 2004-2014), Council Member Canadian Franchise Association (2002-2004), University of Saskatchewan Law Students' Association Class President (1995-1996), Gideon’s International (Lifetime member, 2006 to present), Richmond Hill Baptist Church (Deacon's Board 2000-2009).
I have extensive corporate experience as legal advisor and board director. I have a passion for entrepreneurial ventures. Highlights of my career include: providing start up capital to high tech, mining and oil and gas ventures listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange, founding and building the Calgary office for a national law firm, and raising debt and equity for private and public issuers.
Specialties: corporate governance and assessing organizational effectiveness, managing international financing, stock exchange listings, change management, turn-around management, M&A, and real estate financing.
I'm open to investment opportunities, board advisory and mentoring roles.
