At Time of Nomination in 2020
Paul Morrow serves as the President of Morrow Energy. He attended Texas Tech University
where he earned both his MS in Chemical Engineering as well as his MBA, but his career
in the natural gas industry began at the age of 14 as he chased his dad around industrial
facilities. A registered Professional Engineer, Paul's duties as President include
strategic planning, engineered product management, design, and operations of gas treating
equipment and landfill gas collection. While his experience in gas treatment has been
largely hands-on and logistics, Paul has managed the design, construction, and operation
of numerous gas treating and dehydration systems for conventional natural gas, landfill,
and digester facilities. He is named on three processing patents.
His volunteer activities include involvement in Big Brothers / Big Sisters of Lubbock
and Midland, and President of the board of directors of both the Midland Montessori
School and Boys and Girls Club of the Permian Basin. He and his wife Katy have four
children: Maggie (21 and a senior at the University of Denver), James (18 and a senior
at Hillcrest School), Rebecca (17 and a senior at UTPB STEM Academy Odessa) and Anna
Kate (15 and a 9th grader at UTPB STEM Odessa). Paul enjoys sharing his experiences
and has given his "Engineer to Entrepreneur" presentation a few times to engineering
students at Texas Tech. He was invited to present the same presentation and hosted
at the Texas A&M.ChE. He also instigated the new pilot plant recently installed at
the Chemical Engineering Department at Texas Tech.
