Oil and natural gas provider Tom Brown Inc. can thank the Bush administration for shaking up its management team and sending it in search of a new chairman and chief executive.

Last week, ex-CEO Donald Evans stepped down from the post to take over as secretary of commerce. A successor has not been announced, but all eyes are on James Lightner, the next in command.

Lightner was named company president in May 1999, just

as the industry was beginning to rebound from a two-year downturn. He grabbed the helm while Evans managed George Bush's presidential campaign.

On Lightner's watch, Tom Brown logged five consecutive quarters of triple-digitearnings growth. He also helped move the company's headquarters from Midland, Texas, to Denver - closer to the company's Rocky Mountain gas properties.
