Meet Jake Kellen

President & Owner
Jake Kellen is a Registered Professional Landman and the President and Owner of Inland Exploration & Minerals, LLC. He has been a landman since 2013, working central Texas and the Permian Basin across both oil and gas and renewable energy. He manages every project personally, from start to finish, and would rather spend the extra hour on a file than have it come back.
