The American graduated from Penn State University in Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. He began by working for Getty Oil and Felmont Oil Co. but soon established his own business, East Resources, a company that engaged in natural gas drilling.

Becoming an entrepreneur

Terry founded the business with the small amount of funding he received from his friends and family. The Marcellus Formation, a sedimentary rock unit of the Middle Devonian age found in Eastern North America, turned out to be a huge success and greatly benefited from the discovery of deep layers of natural gas.
