Experienced trainer in geology, in the field, the core store and the classroom. Happy to consider one day teaching assignments. Extensive experience in both Exploration and Development Geology, both international (Colombia, Middle East, Russia, North Sea) and in western Canada.

My management experience includes managing the G&G New Graduates at Husky for two years, as well as managing all geology related training and all the upstream Peer Reviews.

We made discoveries in both gas and shale oil plays during my time there. I have also held several Team Lead roles with Shell, and lead exploration geologist roles on several Middle Eastern exploration projects. I have set up and taught many in house courses that showcase my extensive skill base. These included field trips, numerous workshops and classroom based courses on diverse geological topics.
