Work history: Began working at an integrated steel mill immediately after graduating from Auburn more than 40 years ago. Spent 20 years with another steel service center/steel tubing manufacturer in Birmingham before his father, John, and the Montgomery family bought Southland Tube in 1995. In my iPod: Dan Fogleberg, James Taylor, Karla Bonoff.
In September, 1986, Southland sold a 50 percent interest in CITGO to PetrÃ³leos de Venezuela, S.A., (PDVSA), the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. PDVSA acquired the remaining half of CITGO in January, 1990 and the company is owned by CITGO Holding, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary. With a secure and ample supply of crude oil, CITGO quickly became a major force in the energy arena.
