Mr. Elskes, a distinguished professional in the field of finance and energy, currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer at Wing Resources LLC, a role he has held since 2019. With over a decade of experience in his profession, he has been instrumental in driving the company’s strategy, particularly focusing on valuations and acquisitions within the Permian Basin. Notably, he recognized the importance of early investment in southern New Mexico, which has helped drive strong returns for the company and its investors.
Mr. Elskes earned a Juris Doctor, with Honors, from the University of Texas School of Law and began his career as an Associate at Andrews Kurth LLP, where he focused on mergers and acquisitions and securities related legal representation of energy sector clients. Prior to joining the firm, he worked as a Summer Associate at both Andrews Kurth LLP and Vinson & Elkins LLP.
