Calgary, Alberta, Canada
A prospect generator and technology champion, I've also managed exploration and development programs across Canada and led New Ventures globally. My skill is integrating the best of technology, data and people to identify new opportunity and lower investment risk. Currently prospecting for and invested in—green and precious metals, uranium, oil and natural gas. I’m a firm believer that the strength of a civilization is proportional to the energy and resources it has readily available. Participating in a clean, ethical and low impact Resource Sector is an important way to contribute to modern life and a sustainable future.
Independent Prospect Generator for energy and mineral resources. I came to this through a background in Geoscience. From this earthy core I've added layers of experience in technology, new ventures, business development, strategy, exploration, prospect generation, risk analysis, operations, production, finance, economics, supply chain, negotiations, and ESG. It takes many skills learnt, developed, and applied—to successfully find new resources. Insanely curious, highly pragmatic, yet irresponsibly passionate in the search for the treasures of the earth.
