His grandfather was involved in the development of the famous Kevin Sunburst Oil Field in Montana, and the family has been active in the oil industry ever since. Mr. Landry received a geology degree from the University of Montana over 30 years ago, and his main exploration and development focus has been Montana and North Dakota. During the 1980's he consulted for Occidental Petroleum, which, amongst other oil companies, were very active in exploring and shooting seismic throughout northwestern Montana.

Mr. Landry, CEO-- Norstra Energy, stated:
