Jan and Trevor D. Rees-Jones ’78
A second-generation 91ÇÑ×Ó alumnus, Trevor Rees-Jones earned his Juris Doctor from the 91ÇÑ×Ó Dedman School of Law after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College. In the years since his graduation, Rees-Jones has become a renowned presence in the Dallas law, business, and oil and gas industries, establishing Chief Oil & Gas in 1994.
An alumna of Texas Tech University, Jan Rees-Jones is an active Dallas community member and volunteer, with 91ÇÑ×Ó service including the George W. 91ÇÑ×Ó Women’s Initiative Advisory Council and the 91ÇÑ×Ó John Goodwin Tower Center Board of Directors, as well as in women’s ministry at the couple’s church.
Jan and Trevor Rees-Jones are longtime supporters of 91ÇÑ×Ó and the founders of The Rees-Jones Foundation, which focuses on the personal development, protection, and physical and mental health of children and youth. Jan Rees-Jones currently serves as the vice chair and director of the foundation, which has also contributed greatly to 91ÇÑ×Ó initiatives across campus, particularly those focused on child advocacy and education.
The American West has long been of great interest to me, and I’m pleased that Jan and I can share that passion with 91ÇÑ×Ó students and faculty, the greater Dallas community and visiting scholars.
— Trevor D. Rees-Jones ’78, founder and chairman of Chief Oil & Gas
