LSU’s E. J. Ourso College of Business has long been at the forefront of producing leaders who make significant contributions to the areas of business, academia, government, and the community at-large. Whether alumni or friends, individuals who have a strong association with the college and have distinguished themselves through their professional and civic achievements are considered annually for the Hall of Distinction.

Well before the formal establishment of the E. J. Ourso College in 1928, students attending the university with aspirations in various endeavors were taught the basic principles of entrepreneurship necessary to be successful. Such successes established the foundation later alumni would utilize to achieve their accomplishments. Continuously, the college has recognized these ambassadors of LSU. Since 1996, the E. J. Ourso College has honored such individuals via the Hall of Distinction.

Nominees for the Hall of Distinction may be submitted by anyone and are solicited on behalf of the E. J. Ourso College by the Dean’s Advisory Council, the College Executive Committee, and past inductees.

Deke G. CarboDeke Carbo is president, chief executive officer, and sole owner of Metis Financial LLC – a company he formed in 2006. Through this consulting firm, which specializes in providing investment and financial consulting services, Carbo services several high-net-worth families and family-owned businesses in Louisiana. In 2009, Wealth Manager magazine named Metis Financial one of the top wealth management firms in the country.

Carbo, a Baton Rouge native, began his career in public accounting in his hometown in 1979. He then joined KPMG the following year, beginning a 23-year career at the company that saw him rise to partner in 1989 and eventually, head of the Personal Financial Planning Practice in the firm’s Silicon Valley Office from 2000-2002.

During his time at KPMG, Carbo served in a number of capacities, including as the firm’s energy industry practice leader for the New Orleans office, advising all of its key oil and gas exploration and production and oilfield services clients. He was also responsible for developing and implementing planning strategies for high-net-worth individuals, for exercising and disposing of stock options, transferring business assets, investing in marketable and non-marketable securities, retirement, and wealth transfer. He provided investment advisory services to individuals, companies, pension funds, and exempt organizations. He developed a team that advised companies on qualified retirement plans and welfare benefit plan issues. He developed computer models that were used throughout the firm to perform retirement planning

analyses and wrote the outline used to develop KPMG’s retirement planning training course for members of the Personal Financial Planning Practice.

Carbo left Silicon Valley and returned to Louisiana in 2003 to serve as chief financial officer of both Explore Enterprises of Louisiana LLC (an oil and gas exploration and development company) and Explore Investments LLC (a private investment company).

He is a graduate of LSU, where he earned a bachelor of science in accounting in 1980. He also continues to give back to his alma mater as a member of the E. J. Ourso College of Business Dean’s Advisory Council.

Carbo’s generosity extends to his community and profession, engaging in work with many organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America, the United Way, The Petroleum Club of New Orleans, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which awarded him the Personal Financial Specialist designation. He has also spoken at numerous tax and financial planning seminars, taught oil and gas and financial planning courses, been quoted by publications such as Forbes in its annual money guide, and was named one of the top 300 financial advisors in the country by Worth magazine in 1998.

Carbo is married to Julie E. Rodrigue-Carbo.

My first memory of LSU’s campus comes from attending an LSU football game as an 11-year-old Boy Scout when my troop served as ushers for the game. LSU scored on a halfback pass on the first play of the game, and of course, the crowd went crazy. “Big Red” sat about 30 feet from where I sat on a stadium step, and I was amazed at how one person could be heard above everyone else.

While I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, going to LSU was not a given in my family, as many of my 26 first cousins in the Baton Rouge area did not attend college. As far as parental support goes, my father was kind enough to give me directions to LSU’s campus.

When I enrolled at LSU, I had no idea what I wanted to major in (which ultimately allowed me to cram a four-year curriculum into five years). Since numbers always came easily to me, I wasn’t surprised when I enjoyed LSU’s introductory accounting course. When a friend majoring in accounting at LSU told me I could make a good living at it, accounting became my major.

I scheduled classes in the morning and worked in the afternoons and on weekends. With my work and school schedule, I learned the hard way I needed to develop a disciplined approach if I was going to succeed, because earning a passing grade at LSU was more difficult than in high school. I had no time to “cram” for tests, so I had to stay current with classwork and each day was class, then work, then study.

As I progressed in the accounting curriculum, I began to wonder about my choice. I enjoyed my classes but had no idea what the job would be like. About 15 months before graduating, I approached a small local accounting firm and asked for a job. They had never employed a college student before and were more than skeptical about doing so. They hired me anyway and, as a result of my class schedule, I did mostly tax work.

The job at the local accounting firm started an amazing learning experience for me, as I would attend class at LSU in the morning and apply what I was learning in the afternoon. I converted class instruction into actual job application and experience.

LSU’s reputation in the business community and my practical work experience gave me a leg up in the interview process, and every international accounting firm I interviewed with offered me a job. Amusingly, my best job offer came from the small accounting firm I interned with in Baton Rouge. In the end, I opted for the experience I thought I would get working for an international firm, so I accepted a position with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell, & Co. in New Orleans.

Recognizing that my work experience at the Baton Rouge accounting firm and the three tax courses I took at LSU had uniquely prepared me for a career in tax, I requested a transfer from Peat Marwick’s audit department to the tax department early in my career. As luck would have it, it proved to be the perfect choice for me. Peat Marwick’s New Orleans

tax practice was large and diverse, so I was able to work on a variety of jobs and, over time, develop a diverse skill set.

Since becoming a partner at Peat Marwick (now KPMG) in 1989, I have always been a business owner. After leaving KPMG, I was a partner in a company that bought and developed oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico and then founded my own financial consulting business that will celebrate its 10-year anniversary this year.

From the start of my career, I have always felt tremendous gratitude for LSU, and that gratitude has grown over the years. I am often reminded how different my life would be without my LSU degree. I supported LSU from the day I graduated and in more recent years have been fortunate to serve on the Dean’s Advisory Council for the E. J. Ourso College of Business. Education is a hot-button issue for me, and my hope today is that young people are provided the same opportunity I had to receive a great, affordable education at LSU.

I cannot describe the feeling I had when Dean Richard White called and informed me of this great honor. Being a former basketball player, where talking trash is an integral part of the game, I am rarely at a loss for words. Having said that, I was so humbled I could think of nothing to say. I am very proud to be an LSU graduate and look forward to continuing to give back to LSU in any way I can.

Fernando Guerrero has more than 30 years of experience in the specialized credit markets. He is the founder of Varadero Capital LP, an award-winning investment adviser with approximately $1.2 billion in discretionary capital under management. Previously, he was chief executive officer and chief investment officer of Varadero Capital’s former indirect affiliate, NIBC Credit Management, where he was responsible for all aspects of its North American activities.

Guerrero is recognized by the finance community as a successful business builder and investor, having built several credit banking and trading operations at broker dealers — including Bankers Trust, Donaldson Lufkin, and Jenrette and Toronto Dominion — before transitioning to investment management in 2005 to build a global structured credit platform for Merrill Lynch Investment Managers.

From 2004 to 2013, Guerrero served on the Board of Trustees of the Princeton Charter School (PCS), including as chairman. PCS is a Blue Ribbon School and is widely recognized as a beacon for excellence in education from kindergarten to eighth grade.

Guerrero is a Cuban immigrant, born in Cardenas, Cuba, and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He holds a bachelor of science and master of science in finance from LSU and is a graduate of the Program for Management Development at the Harvard Business School.

My time at LSU was filled with personal growth, knowledge acquisition, and opportunity.

As a Cuban immigrant raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, arriving at LSU in August of 1980 represented a meaningful leap in opportunities for me. Accordingly, my parents reminded me, as they finished the college drop-off process, that if I did not do well at LSU there was always the University of Puerto Rico waiting for me!

The personal growth component included improving my English language skills, developing an affinity for the fun-loving culture in South Louisiana, and the adjustments a freshman must make living more than 1,500 miles from home. LSU proved to be an academic setting that rewarded initiative and motivation, which allowed me to achieve academically while adjusting to a new social setting. In addition, I chose to immerse myself, as much as I could, into the student body and resist the temptation to spend most of my time with other international students of similar backgrounds. As a result, I have little doubt that I had a fuller experience through my interactions with a broader set of students.

At LSU, for the first time in my academic journey, I focused on acquiring knowledge and being prepared for a career, given my

strong motivation to create employment options in the United States. As the semesters passed and I finished course after course, it also became apparent to me that the professors had a keen eye for highly motivated students and were more prone to engage if they sensed a thirst for knowledge from those pupils. LSU provided sufficient challenges in the classroom and in projects with classmates that not only educated me but also proved I could make contributions beyond the classroom. What I learned at LSU allowed me to build confidence in the fact that I was prepared to contribute alongside anyone with a similar background when I graduated and it was ultimately validated early in my career.

Opportunity tends to come to those that are prepared. As a result of my focus and motivation, I had the opportunity to complete my bachelor of science in finance in three years while developing a positive reputation with the business school faculty. This allowed me the option to pursue full-time employment at age 20 or a graduate degree. In short, I passed on an entry-level position at one of the large energy companies in Houston and availed myself of the offer to become a graduate assistant in the Department of Finance at LSU, earning a monthly income and graduate degree

tuition-free. Furthermore, I was able to secure a summer internship at a leading financial institution in Houston solely on the basis of my academic record and recommendations from the finance faculty, which speaks volumes of the credibility of those professors with employers!

In summary, LSU provided a platform from which I could mature in a fun and nurturing environment and where I could get immersed into the great American melting pot while developing an appreciation for the diversity on campus. Furthermore, I developed an affinity for the special and unique South Louisiana culture. Lastly and perhaps just as importantly, LSU delivered a strong education that resulted in multiple job offers with the leading regional financial institutions at the time.

I am forever grateful to LSU for propelling me into a better future and enriching my personal journey through its incredibly amazing culture and atmosphere.

Since January 2001, James O. Harp Jr. has served as an executive vice president and the chief financial officer of Hornbeck Offshore Services (HOS), a leading marine transportation and oilfield service company headquartered in Covington, Louisiana.

In that time, HOS has grown more than 15-fold under his financial leadership. Since November 2000, Harp has been responsible for raising nearly $4.5 billion in capital and credit availability for the company, including its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2004.

Harp also has four years of energy investment banking and 15 years of “Big 8” public accounting experience. Prior to joining HOS, he served as vice president of Jefferies & Company Inc. and RBC Dominion Securities Corporation from June 1997 to 2001. From 1982 to 1997, he served as an international tax CPA with Arthur Andersen LLP, including as principal from 1995 to 1997.

A native of Baton Rouge, Harp graduated from Baton Rouge High School (BRHS) in 1978 and was a Phi Kappa Phi graduate of LSU in May 1982, earning a bachelor of science in accounting. He continues to give back to his alma mater, serving as a guest lecturer for the honors section of FIN 3716 for each of the past 16 semesters. He has also been a member of the LSU Department of Finance Advisory Council since 2010 and the Dean’s Advisory Council since 2014. During his time at Arthur Andersen, he was in-charge of recruiting students at LSU and was a frequent guest speaker to the LSU chapter of Beta Alpha Psi and LSU Accounting Society for more than 10 years.

In 2011, Harp was inducted into the Baton Rouge High School Hall of Fame, and in 2016 joined the board of the BRHS Foundation.

Harp has served on the boards of numerous civic, charitable, trade, and faith-based organizations in the greater New Orleans area for the past 34 years. Most notably, since 1982, he has served on the board and is a past president of the Louisiana chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. In 2009, he was named to the CF Foundation National Volunteer Leadership Council, and in 2015, was presented their Breath of Life Award for more than 30 years of continuous service.

Harp is a past president of the Third District Kiwanis Club, which he co-founded, and is a past treasurer of the Junior Catholic Charities Association. In addition, he has been actively involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes since 1992.

During the 1980s, Harp was elected to the German-American Chamber of Commerce of the Southern US and served on the Board of the Louisiana-Mexico Trade Association. Since 2005, he has served as ex-officio finance chairman and is a past president of Tchefuncta Club Estates.

Harp and his wife, Pam, have been married for 27 years and have four children — ages 15 to 24. He and his family are active members of First Baptist Covington.

As a native son of Baton Rouge, I grew up with “green and gold” running through my veins in one arm and “purple and gold” running through the other. My parents graduated from Baton Rouge High in 1957, and my mom was a double-graduate of LSU. Therefore, I was steeped in all of the myth and lore of LSU at an early age, having read Pete Finney’s definitive history of the LSU Fighting Tigers from cover to cover (twice). I fondly recall my days serving as a Boy Scout usher at Tiger home games during the Bert Jones-era, including that thrilling Ole Miss game in 1972 “when time stood still.”

I didn’t actually start out as a business major at LSU. My first year, I was president of the freshman class of the College of Architecture, having had four years of design at BRHS. Moreover, I had every intention of eventually going to law school. Two pivotal moments forever changed the course of my vocational calling – one during the spring of my freshman year when a friend convinced me to switch majors to accounting to better prepare me for law school and the other during the fall of my senior year when a “Big Eight” public accounting recruiter convinced me to abandon my plans for a legal career altogether.

While at LSU, I was active in Delta Sigma Pi and Beta Alpha Psi and served as a senior justice on the Student Government Association University Court. I also had a wide diversity of jobs that built a strong work ethic for future success. I was a student aide and bus driver at the Louisiana School for the Deaf and district coordinator of the LaMissTenn District of Key Club International. I worked offshore

as a roustabout for Mobil Oil, clerked for the Appropriations Committee of the Louisiana State Legislature, and worked as a journeyman’s trade apprentice and as a day-laborer in various chemical plants and other industrial venues.

My first job out of LSU in 1982 was with Arthur Andersen, where I specialized in international taxation for 15 years. While at Andersen, I structured cross-border mergers and acquisitions involving more than 50 different countries. In 1997, I switched from accounting to finance when I became an energy investment banker for four years, which launched me into my current position as chief financial officer of Hornbeck Offshore, a position I’ve now held for the last 15 years.

Whether speaking to college students at LSU or to Ivy League-educated analysts and investors on Wall Street, I often describe myself as a “product of the Baton Rouge Public School System,” which I proudly credit as one of the secrets to my success. For there is no doubt in my mind that I am the man I am today, in large part, because of the collective efforts and influence of all of the faculty, administrators, and fellow classmates whom God used to “direct my path.” I am especially thankful for my two best friends and college roommates at LSU — Steve Landry and Steve Croxton.

My parents and mentors have always fostered and instilled in me a lifelong commitment to “pay it forward” through servant leadership, community service, and philanthropy. Among the

myriad of causes I have been involved with, none have given me more pleasure than teaching and mentoring LSU students, whether it was during my accounting career or more recently through my involvement with the Dean’s Advisory Council and the LSU Department of Finance.

In closing, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dean Richard White, Karen Deville, Bill Lane, Carlos Slawson, and Laney Sanders for their role in my nomination for this high honor. I am extremely humbled to join the illustrious list of past and current recipients, many of whom are former clients, colleagues, and classmates that I hold in high esteem. Being an ambassador of our beloved alma mater is a privilege that I do not take lightly and a role that I will carry out with much pride and great pleasure.

I would like to share this honor with my parents, James O. Harp Sr. and Janet LaSalle Faulkner; my beautiful wife of nearly 28 years, Pam; and our four wonderful children, Elizabeth, Alex, Victoria, and William. For each of them, in their own unique ways, inspire me to live life to the fullest; and among us, we hold six degrees from LSU with two in-progress. I would also like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For in Him, I live and move and have my being; and apart from Him, I can do nothing.

Steve Walker retired from JPMorgan Chase (JPMC) in 2015 after a 39-year career in commercial banking. He spent the first and last thirds of his career with large, diversified money center banks, serving as the lead manager of a variety of commercial banking areas. The middle third of his career found him leading a Louisiana-based community bank organization through the oil and gas-induced banking crisis of the 1980s. Adoption of interstate banking laws in the 1990s involved Walker in numerous mergers in the banking business and required him and his family to be flexible enough to move frequently and travel extensively across the United States.

Walker spent the last 15 years of his career as a senior executive for JPMC in their Middle Market Banking & Specialized Industries Division. His tenure there was highlighted by building a middle market banking franchise across the seven western and southeastern states that JPMC acquired in the Washington Mutual failure of 2008. It grew from a zero starting point and, over the next seven years, became one of the fastest growing parts of the JPMC commercial banking franchise. Walker completed his career at JPMC as the first head of Middle Market Banking nationwide. As such, he was responsible for 110 middle market offices across the country with more than 3,000 employees. This part of the bank was focused on serving primarily private, and some public, companies with sales from $20 million to $500 million, plus local governments and not-for-profit entities.

Walker began his career at Texas Commerce Bank in Houston, where over an 11-year period, he progressed from trainee to the head of the Metropolitan Commercial Banking Group in Houston. He then moved to Louisiana and served as CEO of Commercial National Bank in Shreveport. When he took the role, the bank was losing money, which was typical of the banking industry in Louisiana during the 1980s. The bank not only survived under Walker’s leadership but returned to strong profitability. Following the advent of interstate banking, he guided CNB through two interstate mergers that helped build a seven-state operation. He left CNB prior to its merger with Regions Bank.

Walker attended LSU on an ROTC scholarship and served as an officer in the US Air Force for two-and-a-half years. He earned his bachelor of science and master of science in finance from LSU (BS ’71 and MS ’73), as well as a degree from the Advanced Management Program at Harvard University (AMP ’93).

He has served in numerous community roles over the years and continues to be involved in the local community in many ways. He was an inaugural member of the Dean’s Advisory Council for the E. J. Ourso College of Business and continues in that service today.

ReflectionsGrowing up in the small rural town of Plain Dealing in the piney woods of Northwest Louisiana, coupled with a set of parents who were clearly an example of the “Greatest Generation” that came out of the Great Depression and World War II, had everything to do with who I am and the success I had in business. Even with that solid start in life, none of my career would have happened or even been possible without the broadening experience of attending LSU. My growth, both academically and in so many other ways, was kindled at LSU during the six years I was privileged to attend this wonderful university and was beyond my wildest dreams.

I started LSU in 1967, very unsure of my ability to compete in a bigger environment. My view was limited by a high school class of 33 students, compared to the more than 3,000 students in my freshman class at LSU. When I did not flameout in the first year, it was a surprise and an encouragement to me. Numerous professors impacted me, but I must particularly highlight the nurturing, growth, and vision that I received from two professors in the Department of Finance. Dr. Don Woodland and Dr. Willie Staats combined to open doors which allowed me to see what was possible and to believe that I could compete and

succeed in this environment and beyond. I found that LSU prepared me for success at all levels, which was confirmed over the years as I attended Harvard University and competed in most of the major cities across the United States with an emphasis on Houston and New York.

I feel like the “other education” that LSU offered outside of the classroom was as high-quality and impactful as the formal classroom work. Watching the Tigers play in all sports on a national level suggested that I should think the same way in the business world. Meeting my eventual spouse, Nancy, some 48 years ago at the LSU homecoming game was a gift beyond all others. She is the one that taught me how important an understanding of people was in the business world and what to look for in people. That became critical as my career progressed more into leadership.

LSU taught me about business cycles, supply and demand, how to interpret numbers, and much more. Little did I know then that I would use all of these lessons over and over and that they would be the foundation of thinking that would guide countless decisions. Surviving numerous business cycles and using them to find opportunities in the toughest of times came out of these lessons. Kindergarten did not exist in my day, so I

guess I had to wait to get to LSU to say “I learned all I needed to know at LSU.”

Today, Nancy and I enjoy traveling, golf, our lake house, and our extended family of three wonderful children who are married to great people and have given us seven grandchildren to enjoy. When the Tigers are playing, you can bet we will be dressed in purple and gold, and our grandchildren will be similarly clad regardless of where they live: Houston, Chicago, and Shreveport. That is why we were so awed when our children created an endowed scholarship with the LSU Foundation in honor of our retirement last year.

It has been a good ride, and I am so thankful that LSU was a big companion/mentor along the way.
