What has been the most memorable experience of your career?
Hard to list just one but finding the Dachine diamondiferous komatiite in French Guiana definitely qualifies, Dachine possibly being the largest diamond-bearing deposit in the world, and one of the oldest. Thinking outside of the box was key to the discovery.
What advice would you give to someone who is considering a career in the mineral industry?
Be certain of what aspect of the industry appeals to you: exploration, resource development, etc.! Then, commit yourself to your vision and gather all the information you can on your project area before you start. Before all, do not be afraid to think outside the box, knowing that you will have to justify your reasoning in the end.
