In this #hottakeoftheday podcast episode, I am joined by Michael Teague of Adamantine Energy as part of his discussions on “Looking ahead of the curve”.  Timely and topical as we move through the Covid crisis and start anticipating how the world will continue to change and evolve.  If you didn’t see it, here is an article introducing the concepts and in our discussion we deep dive (the next installment in the series will go out on June 4th)

I really enjoyed the insight, and know you will as well.

Official Bio of Michael Teague

Michael Teague

Strategic Advisor and Systems Integrator

As the strategic advisor and systems integrator for Adamantine Energy, Mike brings a unique ability to distill information, clearly identify an issue, and use his wide range of experience to define a path forward.  He draws from his service at the cabinet level of state government as well as from a 28-year career in the U.S. Army.

As Oklahoma’s first secretary of both energy and environment, Mike became highly respected by parties across traditional political and development divides.  Mike’s biggest task during his tenure as secretary was spearheading a transparent, multi-stakeholder state coordinating council that traced Oklahoma’s sudden increase in earthquakes to disposal wells and then implemented solutions that reduced earthquakes in Oklahoma nearly five-fold since the council began its work.  His model for bringing stakeholders together to solve contentious issues collaboratively has been used with a variety of issues across the state by agencies, non-profits, and local communities.

Prior to his appointment as secretary, Mike accrued a wealth of international and domestic experience in energy and environment solutions from his nearly three-decade-long active duty Army career, working in  construction, power generation and distribution, water management including desalinization, and environmental impact studies.  Before retiring with the rank of Colonel, Mike commanded the Tulsa District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 2010 to 2013, where he facilitated and negotiated numerous solutions among federal and state agencies, Native American tribes and local stakeholders.

Mike received a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Norwich University. He also received master’s degrees in Operations Analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School and in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College.
