BELL CAPITAL
After graduating from law school in 1996 I articled in Calgary and then practiced corporate finance law with a focus on energy deals. I founded Bell Capital in June 2004 and had a practice of advising energy companies raising capital and completing going public and 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.

I have a passion for entrepreneurial ventures and his track record includes: 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 natural gas and oilfield service companies in Western Canada with a combination of international and local capital sources.
Specialties: corporate governance and assessing organizational effectiveness, managing international financing, stock exchange listings, change management, turn-around management, M&A, and real estate financing.
