PG; PRINCIPAL GEOLOGIST
I was the kid who was always bringing rocks home. I love being outside and early reading about Kit Carson and Daniel Boone inspired me to want to be a mountain man. After I realized this was not a viable career choice I found geology. I love getting out and looking at the soil and rocks to gather information that will help meet my clients’ objectives. My geologic interests include geochemistry, serpentinite, and water-rock interactions. Much of my work has included assessing and cleaning up mercury in the environment with a focus on source control, and monitoring to assess mercury mobility.
