With over 35 years of experience in geology, energy, mining, and sustainability, I help companies, institutions, and professionals navigate the complex challenges of the Critical Minerals Age. From oil exploration to solar and battery storage, from strategic minerals to persuasive stakeholder communication, my journey has combined hard data with compelling storytelling.
