Lewis’ Leadership Spans Over 36 Years of Distinguished Military
Service
Empire Petroleum (NYSE American: EP) ("Empire" or the
"Company"), an oil and gas company with current producing assets in
Texas, Louisiana, North Dakota, Montana and New Mexico, announced
today the appointment of Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis as Board Member,
effective immediately. Vice Admiral Lewis replaces Anthony Kamin,
who has served Empire as a Director since December 2016 and
recently as Co-Chairman of the Board.
Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis was raised in Los Altos, California,
and is a 1985 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. He was designated
a Naval Aviator in April 1987 and has flown over 100 combat
missions, accumulating over 5,300 flight hours and 1,100 carrier
landings.
Lewis previously served as the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations
for Operations, Plans and Strategy, vice director for Operations,
and director of Fleet Training at Fleet Forces Command. His command
tours included Carrier Strike Group 12, Naval Strike and Air
Warfare Center, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, Strike Fighter Squadron
(VFA) 106, and Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 15. In 2018, Lewis was
named Commander of the U.S. Second Fleet and NATO Joint Force
Command Norfolk.
Following retirement from a 36-year military career in 2021,
Lewis joined Business Executives for National Security. As Senior
Vice President of Policy and Projects, Vice Admiral Lewis has
worked collaboratively with business executives and leaders in the
federal government’s national security enterprise to apply best
business practices in addressing the nation’s most pressing
security challenges.
“The entire Board is thrilled to have Vice Admiral Lewis join
us. His experience re-establishing the Second Fleet in 2018 has
been said to have been the military equivalent of establishing two
successful startup companies responsible for maritime security in
the Atlantic and into the Arctic. His experience should prove
invaluable to our Board,” said Tommy Pritchard, Chief Executive
Officer.
“We want to thank Tony for being an integral part of the Company
since 2016. He has been instrumental in the company’s tremendous
growth and we truly appreciate his leadership. We wish Tony the
very best in his future endeavors,” said Mike Morrisett, President.
“I also want to extend a warm welcome to Vice-Admiral Lewis as a
new member of the Board of Directors.”
