Michael Morford, the organization's Executive Director, founded OK Invest in 2008 amidst the global economic instability. Morford sought to increase the understanding of the upper end of the financial literacy spectrum, "The financial crisis showed that, collectively as a country, Americans don't know what we are doing with our money. Investing is considered a luxury for many, so philanthropic organizations largely ignore it. I decided that's how I could do something to give back for my good fortunes—by exposing Main Street to Wall Street."
As an IRS tax-exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit, OK Invest and its parent organization the Financial Fluency Foundation seek to promote financial literacy and economic development in the state of Oklahoma.

GMXR is a resource play rich E&P company. Oil shale resources are located in the Williston Basin, North Dakota & Montana targeting the Bakken Petroleum System and in the DJ Basin, Wyoming targeting the Niobrara Petroleum System; both plays are estimated 90% oil. Our natural gas resources are located in the East Texas Basin, in the Haynesville/Bossier gas shale and the Cotton Valley Sand Formation, where the majority of our acreage is contiguous, with infrastructure in place and substantially all held by production. We believe these oil and natural gas resource plays provide a substantial inventory of operated, high probability, repeatable, organic growth opportunities. The Company's multiple basin strategy provides flexibility to allocate capital to achieve the highest risk adjusted rate of return, with both oil and natural gas resources throughout our portfolio.
