Meet The Authors Jack N. Gerard is president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute (API), the national trade association that represents all aspects of America's oil and natural gas industry. He also has served as the president and CEO of trade associations representing the chemical and mining industries. Jack understands how Washington works. He spent several years working in the U.S. Senate and House, and co-founded a Washington-based government relations consulting firm. A native of Idaho, Jack also is very active in the Boy Scouts of America, a university graduate program on politics, and his church's leadership. He and his wife are the proud parents of eight children, including twin boys adopted from Guatemala.(View Jack's profile and his recent activity here.)  Jane Van Ryan is senior communications manager and new media advisor at
the American Petroleum Institute (API). In layman's terms, she is a
jack-of-all-trades who writes blog posts, produces podcasts and videos,
and has been in the energy industry long enough to answer most of your
questions. Before coming to API, Jane managed communications for a
large science and engineering corporation, and for a top-tier research
and engineering university. A few years ago, you might have seen her in
your living room when she delivered the news on television. These days
when she's not working at API, she's working on something else--her
garden or her next book. Jane is the author of The Seduction of Miss
Evelyn Hazen, a biography. (View Jane's profile with her recent activity here.)  Kyle Isakower is vice president of regulatory and economic policy at the American Petroleum Institute. With 26 years experience, he is the go-to guy for issues regarding energy and environmental policy and oversees the development of API standards and economic analyses. In his past lives, Kyle has worked on issues related to waste management and remediation, NAAQS and air toxics--and led efforts promote the industry's energy efficiency efforts. Transplanted to Washington from north Jersey over 20 years ago, he remains faithful to the New York Giants, and works diligently to ensure his wife and two children do so as well.
