Robert D Wagner Jr

Bob Wagner has a long history as a commercial and investment banker to the oil and gas industries, primarily in Texas, going back to the original Middle East conflicts of the early 1970's. Over that time he has worked with virtually all segments of the business and executed transactions across the full spectrum of finance. He has an MBA in Finance (1971) from the Stern School of NYU and recently gained a PhD (2008) in Mythological Studies from the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara. His recent book, 'Moby-Dick' and the Mythology of Oil which uses Melville's classic as an allegory for our Petroleum Economy, was originally his PhD dissertation.
