Reed Cagle, a renowned consultant in the oil and energy sectors, expertly applies his vast experience to refine operational processes and promote advanced techniques such as horizontal drilling. Born in 1962 in Clarksville, Texas, he has always maintained a solid connection to his Texan roots despite his extensive travels.

Married to his wife, Donna, for over thirty years, Cagle has embraced family life, raising their son, who has grown into adulthood. The family experienced life in Colorado Springs, Colorado, beginning in 1999 but returned to their roots in Plano, Texas, in 2017, where they made their home. His career in the oil industry kicked off in 1986 at Kinlaw Oil Corporation, where his initial exposure to the field ignited a deep and enduring passion. His dedication and eagerness to learn led to rapid promotions within the company.

In 1996, fueled by an entrepreneurial spirit, Reed left Kinlaw to establish his own company in Dallas, Texas. A year later, he founded Heartland Energy Inc., which would later operate under the name HEI, with him serving as president and CEO. His leadership was marked by strategic partnerships with industry experts, spearheading ventures that pushed the boundaries of exploration and development in oil, gas, and minerals.

Reed's venture into drilling services began in 2006 through a partnership with Midcontinent Drilling. He financed and built a 2000-horsepower drilling rig, which markedly enhanced the company's capacity to conduct up to 20,000-foot-deep drilling operations.

In 2011, Reed Cagle expanded his business interests into the mining industry, beginning with a successful mining concession in Oregon that yielded a remarkable 89,000 ounces of gold. Additionally, he ventured into Chile, where he played a crucial role in the financial oversight and operational management of a gold and copper processing facility in Copiapo.
