Tom joined the True organization in 1980 and has served as Land Manager since 1984.  He graduated from Denver University with both Bachelor and Master degrees in Business Administration and has since been a member of the American Association of Petroleum Landmen, Wyoming Association of Petroleum Landmen (serving as its President), Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation and the Independent Petroleum Association of America.

True Oil LLC is an oil and gas exploration and production independent with its main office in Casper, Wyoming. Its history stems back over a half century when H.A. "Dave" True, Jr. and his wife, Jean, struck out on their own in this industry. Through decades, its reach and that of other True companies has spread across and outside of the Rocky Mountain area.

Hank and Dave True, Partners of True Oil LLC, express their gratitude to Claud Pickard for his many years of service and look forward to Tom's succession into the position of Manager.
