How did you get your start in the mineral industry?

While in high school, a relative gave me a tour of the Horne mine, concentrator, and smelter in Noranda, Quebec; I was fascinated. Later, I attended an excellent promotional talk by the Mining Department at McGill Engineering. After a summer job at the Kerr Addison Mine in Virginiatown, Ontario, I was hooked.

What has been the most memorable experience of your career?

After 20 years at underground and open pit mines in Zambia and Canada, I embarked on a consulting career. I thoroughly enjoyed the travel to dozens of projects all over the world, usually at out-of-the-way sites. Some of these were mines in operation; it was interesting to see how things were done in different countries.
