I am a retired economic geologist and have worked  as an explorationist in search of economic mineral deposits, mainly copper, molybdenum, and gold.  My exploration activities have been mainly in the Western U.S., Mexico, South Africa, Ireland, and Scotland.

Exploration geologists are trained not only in the geologic sciences, but also in chemistry, physics, botany, and geostatistics. I am also trained in the natural history of the Sonoran Desert.

After graduating from  The Colorado School of Mines with a Geology Engineering degree and Master of Science degree, and before practicing as a geologist, I served as an officer in the Army Chemical Corps assigned to a unit that tested experimental weapons and  equipment.
