Ryan Ferrell

Ryan has served as Managing Partner of Truth since 2020 and has been with the company since 2016. Prior to joining Truth, Ryan was Director, then Vice President of Texas Crude Marketing for Texas Gathering Company before its successful divestiture to First River Energy. Ryan’s career began with Sunoco Logistics (now Energy Transfer) in the Gulf Coast Crude Purchasing team. Ryan holds a BBA and MBA from Harding University where he played football for the Bisons. Outside of the office, Ryan enjoys playing golf, cheering for Houston’s’ sports teams, traveling to enjoy new scenery, food and drink, and new golf courses, and spending time with his wife and two boys.

Brandi Chrisenberry

Brandi Chrisenberry was raised in the thick of the oil industry—playing around pumpjacks, climbing metal stair rails at tank batteries, and roaming the halls of Bud Adams’ office for ADA Crude Oil in downtown Houston after hours while her mom wrapped up whatever business she was working on. Her childhood road trips were never complete without a roadside detour to climb a rock formation or inspect an outcrop on private land. With a geologist mom and a legacy rooted in crude marketing, she was born into the business—long before she ever knew it would become her mission.


Brandi graduated early from Deer Park High School and went on to earn her BBA in Marketing from the University of Houston–Clear Lake, where she served as Vice President of Promotions for the American Marketing Association. She spent the next decade sharpening her skills at some of the biggest names in the business—BP, Shell Trading, Flint Hills Resources, Noble Energy, and Sunoco Logistics—learning the ins and outs of crude buying, trucking, refinery supply, contracts, and customer service.


But ultimately what she loved—what she still loves—is the people. The relationships. The handshake deals built on mutual respect, but most importantly, trust. In 2014, she joined Truth Resources, the company her mother helped build, and in 2018 along-side Ryan Ferrell, they took over operations and eventually ownership.

Today, Brandi helps lead Truth with both deep industry experience and an unwavering commitment to doing business the right way—with transparency, loyalty, and a people-first mindset. She and her husband Brian live in Montgomery, Texas, where they’re raising their three kids, a barn full of animals, and a life rooted in community, creativity, and calling. Together, they operate Agape Farms, which offers farm-stay lodging through AiBNB and VRBO; Sown Harvest, their apothecary-style home and body care brand; and The Gathered Local, a beloved food trailer and gathering space in the heart of their hometown.


Brandi serves on the board of the Dallas Crude Association and is a proud supporter of CASA and the Carl McCain Memorial Foundation. She also volunteers alongside her husband through Heroes for Humanity and currently serves as Precinct 19 Chair in Montgomery County—grateful for every opportunity to serve and make an impact both in and outside the oil industry.

Originally from Merced, California, Alex Novosel moved to Cypress, Texas, at a young age. A graduate of Cypress Ranch High School, he went on to compete in both golf and soccer at the collegiate level before pursuing a decade-long career in the golf industry.

In 2023, Alex transitioned into the energy sector, leveraging his business acumen and analytical mindset to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management from the University of Houston–Downtown.
