Additional Biographical Details (and a disclaimer)

I am listing some additional biographical details here in the hopes of filling out this article slightly and possibly making it a better candidate for Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography. However, I am an employee of the Denver Art Museum, of which Frederic C. Hamilton is the Chairman Emeritus, so there's an obvious conflict-of-interest problem here. I'm submitting this material in the hopes that an enterprising Wikipedian might be willing to help resolve attribution and POV issues and help this article to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Thanks!

Biography follows...

Frederic C. Hamilton (born September 25, 1927) founded Hamilton Oil Corporation in the late 1960s, built it into an international oil company and also formed a domestic gas company, both of which he merged into a major integrated oil company in the mid-1980s. He is now Chairman of The Hamilton Companies^[1], which is active in venture capital, private equity, oil and gas, real estate, mortgage lending, securities and acquisitions operations.

Early Life

Fred was born in Columbus, Ohio, and spent much of his childhood in Springfield, Illinois. He was educated at Millbrook and Lawrenceville Schools ^[2] and Babson College ^[3].

He served in the Air Force. He began his career as a roughneck and roustabout in the oil fields of Texas ^[4].

Oil Exploration

Fred has been called one of America’s oil pioneers^[5]. Fred and his brother Ferris started Hamilton Brothers Drilling Company in Dallas, Texas in 1950 with a $5,000 loan from their mother^[6]. Their success enabled them to expand into oil and gas exploration with a partnership known as Hamilton Brothers. In 1962, this became Hamilton Brothers Oil Company and the company moved to Denver. Fred and his family have resided in Denver for more than 50 years.

In the early 70s, Hamilton Brothers was the first company to find and produce oil in the British North Sea. They drilled the first well in the East China Sea and later the first in the Barents Sea offshore Russia. They also developed and used the first floating production system in the world. ^[7] ^[8]

Philanthropy

Frederic C. Hamilton currently serves as Chairman Emeritus of the Denver Art Museum (DAM) Board of Trustees^[9]. Hamilton served as the DAM’s Vice Chairman beginning in 1984, became Chairman of the Board of Trustees in 1994 and acted as Co-Chairman with J. Landis (Lanny) Martin from July 2011 to January 2013. He guided the museum through major milestones, most notably the planning, financing and construction of the Daniel Libeskind-designed Frederic C. Hamilton Building, which opened in October 2006. Hamilton led two major endowment campaigns for the DAM during his tenure, growing those assets to more than $100 million. He also helped lead the fundraising effort to complete the $110 million expansion project. In recognition of his long-time support, the museum named its 146,000-square-foot expansion the Frederic C. Hamilton Building^[10]. Fred is a member of the Trustees Council of the National Gallery of Art ^[11], an alumni member of the Smithsonian Institution Board of Directors ^[12], on the Board of Trustees of the Denver Area Council Boy Scouts of America^[13], Graland Country Day School ^[14] and President of the Graland Country Day School Foundation Board.

He established endowed chairs in endocrinology, macular degeneration and skin cancer Research at the University of Colorado School of Medicine ^[15] and created endowments at NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College for research and for clinical scholars ^[16].

Fred Hamilton's past corporate directorships include Chairman, Tejas Gas Corporation ^[17]; Director, BHP Petroleum; Celanese Corporation; First National Bancorporation; Gates Learjet; IntraWest Financial Corporation; ITT; International Mining Corporation; United States Tmst Co.; Norwest Corporation; Permian Corporation; Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken International Corporation; United Banks of Colorado and Volvo International Board.^[18]
