The recipient of a bachelor's degree in business administration with an emphasis in finance and real estate from Southern Methodist University, Bruce Selkirk began his career as an associate with Natural Gas Partners in Fort Worth, Texas.

He spent almost 8 years in this position until he left and joined Great Plains Energy’s (NYSE: GXP) as president of its oil and gas exploration and production subsidiary. In 2004, he left to create Celero Energy in partnership with Quantum Energy Partners. Substantially all the assets of Celero Energy were sold to Whiting Petroleum (NYSE: WLL) in 2005 resulting in a very profitable investment for Celero Energy’s investors. In 2006, Bruce Selkirk, in partnership with the Celero Energy management team, created a new oil and gas company called Celero Energy Company (“Celero 2”). Celero 2 made a series of oil and gas investments, mostly in Texas, from 2006 to 2010. The largest investment was in the early phases of development of horizontal drilling in the Delaware Basin.

That acreage position was sold to a predecessor of Centennial Resource Development (NYSE: CRD). Bruce Selkirk created Crossing Rocks Energy (CRE 1) in 2015 in partnership with Natural Gas Partners. CRE made investments in the Burleson County, Texas East Texas Eagleford Play and Reeves and Ward County Delaware Basin. In 2018, Mr. Selkirk created Crossing Rocks Energy II (“CRE 2”) in partnership with Pearl Energy Investments and Old Ironsides Energy.

An active philanthropist, Mr. Selkirk, along with the Baylor Foundation, has raised more than $1 million on behalf of the Baylor Health Care System for breast cancer research efforts. He is passionate about this important cause as a means of honoring his late wife, Amy, who passed away following a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis.
