Mr. Munn is a 47 year veteran in the oil and gas exploration industry. He is a Registered Petroleum Geologist with the State of Wyoming (PG 1545). He holds a B.A. in Geology from the University of Colorado (1978).

Mr. Munn believes PetroCoin Tokens will ultimately become highly leveraged to acquire real world energy assets whereby energy companies would become their own bank to fund their oil and gas projects and create generational wealth through holding their PetroCoins as they continue to grow in value.

Mr. Munn started out as a mud logger with N.L. Baroid (1978) and later worked as an oil and gas exploration geologist in the Denver Julesburg Basin (“D-J Basin”) from the late 1970’s through 1994 while in Denver, CO. In 1979 joined Griffin Petroleum Company as the only geologist. The Company went public and production increased from 200 boepd to about 2,000 boepd in the Denver Julesburg Basin (“D-J Basin”). He was asked to start Karen Oil Company (1982) where it was the first company he ran the day to day operations of a successful oil and gas exploration company. He raised several million dollars in exploration capital and the company achieved over a 75% success rate drilling oil and gas exploration wells in the D-J Basin. He next formed his first company Munn Oil & Gas, LTD (Munn O&G) where he raised capital for its stockholders and return their full investment back to the members within nine (9) months.

After EBCO, Mr. Munn started the A & D Zone with a petroleum engineer and together they serviced their clients successfully in both evaluating and selling their oil and gas properties in Texas and Louisiana for the next two (2) years.

Mr. Munn next joined Energy Reserves Group, LLC out of Houston, Texas in 2002 as a business development consultant sourcing, evaluating, and closing on oil and gas production assets from both private and public companies resulting in over $250 million in transaction purchases in Texas, Illinois, and California.

Mr. Munn brokered two oil and gas royalty acquisitions for Noble Royalties and was asked to open a Houston office (2003) for Noble Royalties as a Vice President and later became a Senior Vice President. He open and staffed reservoir engineering team in Houston to evaluate for purchase oil and gas minerals and royalties. From 2003-2005 he opened a Houston office, hired a technical team, and sourced mineral acquisitions from individuals, private and public independent and major oil companies. He also hired personnel to open both a Midland and Denver royalty office.

The Company sourced over $200 million in operated production and drilling opportunities in the Texas Gulf Coast which were technically evaluated for purchase (2006- 2010). Later he joined another royalty company as a consultant and sourced, performed technical reviews, and closed on numerous royalty transactions totaling in excess of $50 million in purchases (2010 – 2014). He continued evaluating royalties and production deals for purchase in the following years.

In 2017 Mr. Munn joined the Board of Directors of QS Energy, Inc. an OTC public Company and served (2017 -2021).
