Experience

My career began with the U.S. Bureau of Mines, Western Field Operations Center as a Physical Science Technician. Some of the areas I worked in were: the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness area in central Idaho, the San Rafael Swell in Utah, Diamond Peak Roadless Area in southeastern Idaho, and the Spokane Indian Reservation. In 1986 I transferred to USGS, working in the Spokane Earth Science Information Center and the Spokane Minerals Information Office (MIO), providing access to the Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS). I have been a project member of the Outreach and Technology Exchange project, the Sources of Industrial Minerals in the Western States project, and the Western Region Database and Information Analysis project

Current Activities

Facility Manager for the Spokane Office. Project Leader for the Outreach and Technology Exchange project. Responibilties of the OTE project include: maintaining the Website for the Geology, Minerals, Energy and Geophysics Science Center; creating materials and handouts for major mining/mineral/geologic themed conventions in the western US; providing information about GMEG to anyone who needs it.
