Jeremy Martin and Roger Tissot

Contributor

Jeremy Martin is a frequent commentator and writer on Latin American and energy issues speaking at international conferences and appearing in both print and broadcast media. He has testified before the US Congress on energy issues in Latin America. Working at a think tank -- the Institute of the Americas at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) -- Jeremy spends his time delving into the geopolitics of energy and closely following energy industry trends and policy issues across the Americas.<br /> <br /> Thanks to his upbringing, he's also a die-hard Red Sox fan, Civil War buff, and news junkie. Jeremy graduated with honors in History from The Citadel in Charleston, SC and earned a Masters in International Affairs/International Development from the American University in Washington, DC. He has yet to achieve his lifelong dream of being a Stand-Up Comic.<br /> <br /> Roger Tissot, an economist, is an independent energy and political risk consultant. For over 15 years Roger has worked as an energy economist and country risk analyst. His career began at the Canadian Energy Research Institute where he co-authored two books. He later worked for Alberta Energy Company which became EnCana. Most recently, he was Director for Latin America at PFC Energy, a Washington, DC consulting firm.
