Dejour Enterprises Ltd. is pleased

with invaluable insight and further extends our leadership team’s business acumen. His experience in

diverse ventures gives him a unique perspective that will contribute to shareholder value. We feel

privileged to have someone of his caliber join our Board of Directors.”

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Steve earned Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Environmental
