His undergraduate focus in English and Zoology and his graduate concentration in Economics and Finance gave him a perfect tabula rasa from which to become a Wall Street energy investment analyst. After ten years Art left Wall Street to acquire the highly-respected oil industry valuation expert, John S. Herold, Inc. For more than 20 years Herold prospered with Smith as CEO as the firm strengthened its locations in Norwalk, CT and Houston, TX while stretching its reach among the global oil and natural gas industry. Smith divested Herold to NYSE-listed IHS, (now S&P Global) and formed the investment and consulting firm, Triple Double Advisors. Previously Smith authored Something From Nothing, a biography of oil legend Joe B. Foster.Over his career, Art has been blessed to serve on the boards of directors of many leading energy companies including Plains All American and Pioneer Natural Resources. Today Smith serves on the boards of Evergreen Natural Resources and Mammoth Energy Services and nonprofits Dress for Success Houston and Memorial Assistance Ministries.Art loves Galveston where he maintains a bay house with an excessive collection of boats, jet skis, golf carts, and miscellaneous games and beach toys. A self-professed professional angler and would-be charter boat captain, Art fishes anywhere and anytime but prefers Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoying his semi-retirement with Holly, Art is very proud of his outstanding children and stepsons and six remarkable grandchildren.view less
