It’s not what we do, but why we do it.
Our Leadership Team

In 2012, Matt heeded his mentors’ advice and co-founded Hydroline with Clay Carlisle. For over a decade, the company has grown exponentially and expanded its suite of services to impact even more of the energy industry. Matt’s passion for learning, technology, and growth leads him as he inspires his team. “We’re all here to build something bigger than ourselves,” Matt said. “That’s why we’re investing in new technology, building our team, and living out our values every day, both in the office and out in the field.”

“At Hydroline, people get excited about coming in to work,” Matthew said. “That’s what inspires me to be a better servant leader to this team. We’ve grown so much and served so many, and we’re just getting started.”

Kelli is a magna cum laude graduate of LSUS with a BS in Accounting. She previously worked for Savanna Energy, learning the ins and outs of drilling in the busy Haynesville Shale. Her work for independent producers in the ArkLaTex has also allowed for insight into both the development and ownership of oil and gas assets west of the Mississippi.
Kelli loves working with the team that she helped to create at Hydroline, LLC. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, googling every question that comes to mind, and attending LSU football games.
