How did you get your start in the mineral industry?
I was always interested in rocks and the outdoors from an early age. My father was a weekend prospector and by the time I was 14, I held and rotated the steel while he and his partner double jacked blast holes. The Mining Engineering Technology course at BCIT looked interesting when it was time to move on after high school and I never looked back.
What has been the most memorable experience of your career?
Three years in Western Australia, nickel exploration at the Forrestania project 1973-1976.
