Edward Scott , Jr ., Former President , Scott Energy Co ., Inc ., and past NEFI Chair , was born into the oil industry in 1953 . His father started Scott Oil Company in 1946 , where it was run out of their family home in Manchester , MA . Like so many of his peers from that time , he grew up going out on service calls with his father and out on the oil truck with his grandfather , who worked until he was 84 .

After graduating from the College of the Holy Cross in 1975 , Ed joined his father

and brother in the family business . Those days , his primary duties included driving an oil truck , doing tune-ups , working on installations and taking night service . This reflected his father ’ s firm belief that you should never ask employees to do jobs that you haven ’ t performed yourself .

Doug Woosnam , Executive V . P . DVFDA , Director , Cetane Associates , and Founder , Woosnam Consulting , grew up in the family business in Southampton , PA . Sinkler Inc . was started by his father , Al Woosnam , in 1947 after an appliance store business he cofounded with his brother-in law , Earl Sinkler had failed . The Sinkler name was well known in the region so Al used it to start his new venture .

In 1977 Doug and his brother Bill acquired the business from their father and began to grow and diversify from what had been strictly a home heating

oil company . Along with a few small fuel oil acquisitions , they also acquired a full line commercial lubricants company , an HVAC services company , added another three-million-gallon storage facility to their existing storage terminals . They also entered the retail gasoline business through the acquisition of a branded Sunoco service station .

Jeff Woosnam , President and CEO , Star Group , L . P . has been the President and Chief Executive Officer of Star Group L . P . since 2019 and is also a member of the company ’ s Board of Directors .

In 1989 , Jeff began his career working in his family ’ s third generation heating oil business , Sinkler Incorporated , which was acquired by Petroleum Heat and Power Company ( Petro ) in 1994 . From 1994 through 2006 , he held several general management positions with Petro , taking on increasing levels of responsibility .
