Jayson, chairman and CEO of U.S. Energy Development Corp., is talking about the external Christmas décor of his company’s new building in the Stockyards.
The company is repurposing the historic Armour Building. Jayson is a member of Fort Worth Inc.’s The 400, the list of the city’s and Greater Fort Worth’s most influential people.
He said he decided to move its base of operations from Buffalo, New York, closer to those assets, which include holdings in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale.
“We had a couple of historic partners from Fort Worth, and I had been visiting Fort Worth for close to 15 years, had always loved the city, loved the people, and also enjoyed the history of the city as well,” says Jayson, who earned an MBA from TCU. “So, it just felt like a great home to reestablish the firm.”
