What has been the most memorable experience of your career?

The most memorable experience was my involvement with the discovery of three and the eventual development of two potash-salt deposits in southern New Brunswick. It was gratifying to see the capital invested and the jobs created in this part of the province.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering a career in the mineral industry?

Make a special effort to obtain any job directly or indirectly related to the mineral industry. Any entry level job in any location will give you invaluable experience and help you be more selective in the future.
