Hello!

I’m Harry, living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Originally, I studied to work as an Oceanographer but today I work mainly as an Environmental Consultant.

About Me

As business has become increasingly borderless, I've chosen a professional career that has allowed me to live, work and play in multiple countries. To date these include Canada, Cuba, Germany, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

I specialise in environmental consulting which requires the preparation of environmental impact assessments, marine habitat surveying, analysis and reporting from a diverse array of shallow and deep-sea habitats in the North Sea, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, the Red Sea and Persian Gulf.

Before this, I used to work at IBM as an IT Architect and developed Brain Computer Interface applications for patients with locked-in syndrome, but that's a story for another time.

I currently support private and governmental energy, infrastructure and utility companies obtain regulatory and financial stakeholder approval to continue project development.

A key part of my role is developing and maintaining enduring relationships with clients and key stakeholders through mutual trust, technical excellence and reliability when delivering services.

I continually seek to further my professional growth by engaging in larger and more complex projects and dealing with multi-disciplinary teams - while still maintaining a hands-on approach to field-based marine research.

After Hours

Outside of work I enjoy teaching others the importance of personal financial education using sound financial principles to invest in vehicles such as the stock market and real estate. After all, having spent the better part of your day working, your money should continue working for you while you rest.

I also enjoy cooking, traveling and exploring the outdoors through trail running and hiking.
