My Philosophy
"There are huge challenges that we all encounter along the road to discovery, and as a geologist i'm quite familiar with the technical hurdles we hit along the way. But the biggest potholes on the horizon are the ever-increasing gaps in information between the number of explorers gearing their way forward. So whether i'm working as a geologist, a writer or a travelling philosopher, I always aim to fill those holes with knowledge and create a smoother, more enjoyable ride for us all."

My Experience
"I'm a gold junkie with a copper problem - and I enjoy writing about it. I've worked all across the world with companies such as Freeport McMoRan, Ivanhoe Australia, Newcrest Mining, and Northern Star Resources. I joined The Northern Miner because it fit perfectly with my philosophy and what I hope to acheive in my career, with the huge bonus of working alongside an exceptionally talented group!"

When i’m not working...
"I’m surfing. I fill the car with my boards and head to the island, then rush back to Vancouver in time for Monday morning."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you knew me, you'd know...
"That I’m an enthusiastic story teller and a passionate optimist. I always seem to stumble upon life's most unusual circumstances and come skidding out sideways with a smile."

If you're an investor...
"Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about the geology of a project you're keen on, i'd be happy to take a look and break things down simply for you."

If you have a project...
"The Northern Minerwould love to hear about it! Whether it be a site visit or a discussion over the phone - our door is always open!"
