It was a woman’s intuition that steered Brayden Hudson’s career to accounting.
“My wife, as a woman’s intuition goes, recognized what I couldn’t in what I would be skilled and passionate about,” says Hudson. “She encouraged me to pursue accounting and finance a little into my career and was patient and supportive while I slogged through four more years of school and a CPA exam.”
He had initially scored a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Ball State. He returned to school at UTA to earn master’s degrees in business and accounting.
With that and a CPA in hand, Hudson took flight in oil and gas.
He joined the team at Split Rock Resources in 2021 and was instrumental in securing financing and closing a $100 million deal in his first 60 days, resulting in huge payouts for all of the investors and employees when the company eventually sold.
Now, he has started again as CFO of Trellis Energy Partners.
