Previously, Durbin was the executive vice president and chief strategy officer at the American Petroleum Institute (API), where he integrated API’s broad advocacy capabilities in pursuit of the organization’s and the industry’s public policy priorities. He returned to API after serving for nearly three years as president and CEO of America’s Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA), representing North America’s leading independent natural gas exploration and production companies.

Durbin serves as chairman of the Board for A Wider Circle, a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to ending poverty for one individual and one family after another. In 2021, he made Washingtonian’s inaugural Most Influential List, which highlights people who work tirelessly as advocates to change and improve the federal policies that have large impacts on people, states, businesses, foreign affairs, safety and security.
He received a B.A. in government and politics from the University of Maryland, College Park. He is married and has three children.
