How did you get your start in the mineral industry?

After completing my PhD at Univ. London (UK), I was hired as a research scientist with the Saskatchewan Geological Survey (SGS). The SGS encouraged innovation and afforded me freedom to develop my interests in biogeochemical methods of mineral exploration. Subsequently, I relocated to the Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa to pursue my research interests worldwide.

What was the most fulfilling project you ever worked on, and why?

Developing a helicopter-borne treetop sampling technique with wide application for a variety of minerals.
