In 2018, he assisted in taking Boardwalk back to being privately held, and at that time was appointed to Boardwalk’s Board of Directors, where he served until his retirement in 2022.
Throughout his career, Buskill served on various industry associations and was featured as the cover story of two trade magazines – the Pipeline & Gas Journal and Midstream Business.
