PROFESSIONAL PROFILE: Accomplished, forward thinking Senior Geologist &

Geotechnical Project Manager. Published geological researcher. Ample

experience with Project Management, and Corporate Mining Management,

within the Geotechnical Industry, as well as Underground and Surface

Resource Operations. Dedication to delivering quality results, within

budget and on schedule, have been a staple of my career.

CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS:

> Published geological research in two prestigious scientific journals.

This remote sensing research focused on the surficial geomorphology

of the carbonate tidal flat environment on Andros Island, Bahamas,

studying the fractal patterns, complex carbonate petrology, and

lithology. Presented the findings at the National Convention of the

Geological Society of America, and NASA District Meetings. The

results were published in the "Geotimes", and front cover and lead

article of "Geology". During this time, I also worked with Martin

Marietta in Alden, Iowa, conducting geophysical mapping pertaining to

an aggregate project.

> Successfully managed a groundbreaking project for assessing

industrial garnet within the Rocky Mountains. Functioned as Geology

Manager, created a new QA/QC program, planned and executed trenching,

diamond drilling, mapping and modeling. Also introduced Attrition

Cell processing for molecularly fused hornblende-garnet. As a

result, a new mine is now being constructed, securing a future for

the Abrasives Industry. Please view the link below, these are the

results from my exploration that has strengthened the bottom line of

mining corporations.

(Author of Final Report)

> Discovered a high grade Silver-Copper-Lead vein (Tetrahedrite,

Chalcopyrite, Galena, Siderite) that is still being mined today. This

vein averages 130.0' strike, and generates substantial revenue each

month. Managed geological operations for all working levels of the

Galena Mine in the Silver Valley of North Idaho.

PROFESSIONAL HISTORY:

Senior Geologist / Project Manager - The Judy Company Inc. - Kansas City,

KS May 2014 - Present Position

Duties include: Project Estimating, Developing, Managing, and QA/QC. The

company specializes in a host of Geotechnical services. Managing the

complete scope of a project is my core responsibility, from budgeting and

forming project proposals, submittals, drawings & specifications, assuring

work site records, financial efficiency, to the successful completion of

projects with the primary goal of client satisfaction. Please note: My

efforts with the company have been diligent, and have extended the survival

of the company. However, the company is near to closing its doors. My

employer still values me, and is regretful over the resulting

circumstances, and is available for comment. I am looking for stability to

support my family, and willing to relocate.

Senior Mine & Exploration Geologist - Harrisonville, MO

2008 - April 2014

Intensive, organized, and professional resource exploration for companies

possessing claims to unexplored areas, and rehabilitated properties.

Producing technical feasibility reports, delineations of oil plays and ore

deposits, reserve/resource calculations geologic surface & cross section

analysis, while assessing historical and regional geologic trends.

Supervise, plan, and develop the following: exploration program protocols,

QA/QC controls, budgets, negotiating & securing sub-contractor support,

trench and diamond drill exploration programs, as well as core

logging/advising. Extensive investigation with Carbonate lithology's,

Polymetallic Systems, including but not limited to: Oil and Aggregate

formations, Garnet, Quartz, Silver, Lead, Gold, copper porphyry deposits,

and Belt Supergroup formations. Perform geochemical analysis to create an

index for property rock type classifications to be utilized in future

exploration, and production.

Company List - abbreviated descriptions.

GMRV Industrial Resources - Industrial & Polymetallic

Idaho State Regional Center - Garnet USA LLC. - Industrial (Permissioned

for detail, see below.)

Toucan Minerals LLC. - Industrial & Polymetallic

Martin Marietta - Industrial

Project Exploration Geologic Manager - ISRC - Garnet USA LLC. -Ruby Valley,

Montana 2012

Ascertaining the garnet and aggregate potential for mining from this hard

rock source was the overall goal of the project. Previous mining of garnet

in the Ruby Valley region had been from alluvial deposits, this unique

project focused on the hard rock source of garnets within the Rocky

Mountains. This is paramount in developing new methods of exploration &

mining for industrial garnet, securing a future for the abrasives industry.

Duties included: Supervise sub-contractors, field work involving mapping

complex trench and surface geology, designing and logging the diamond drill

program, reviewing in-field quality controls, geological sampling, cross-

section analysis, and on site remediation review/compliance with State

Department of Environmental Quality. Office work included: interpreting,

and processing complex geological data, ensuring quality assurance/quality

controls, managed project budgets, wrote technical reports, as well as the

projects final report.

Production & Development Mine Geologist - U.S. Silver Corp. - Galena Mine

- Wallace, ID. 2006 - 2008

Company mines predominantly lead and silver resources, with secondary

copper. Responsibilities included daily mapping and sampling of Mechanized,

Conventional, and Development drifts. Quantitative & qualitative ore grade

control. Discovered new (Silver-Lead-Copper) vein with 130.0' strike

length. Reported recommendations for improved mining practice in all

headings. Utilized (ACAD, Gemcom, Powerpoint, Excel etc.) for geologic

interpretations of vein structures producing representative maps and

models. Developed new version of ore control maps that are now implemented

after each successive cut. Trained new Mine Geologists. Assisted in

creation of company formal presentations, and editing 43-101 technical

reports. Designated company liaison for underground tours for investors,

members of congress, industry executives, and college staff/students.

Office Asst. Manager/Asst. Geologist - Idaho Dept. of Parks & Recreation -

geological questions posed by visitors. Commissioned by Park Manager to

author a geologic report for park visitors.

Research Geologist - Dept. of Geological and Atmospheric Sciences, Ames,

Iowa 2001 - 2003

Conducted research pertaining to the island of Andros, Bahamas. Remote

sensing research of this kind, assessing modern carbonate tidal flat

environments, had previously not been attempted. Precise 4-meter and 1-

meter spectral images, combined with drill core data, revealed detailed

geomorphic changes in the region, as well as fractal evolution, when

compared to past research that included aerial images taken in 1943. This

research is vital for coastal communities in developing conservation

strategies for erosion, and adapting to climate change. Duties also

included writing abstracts, and grant proposals. Utilized ER Mapper, and

other imagery software. This research was presented at the 2001 National

Convention of the Geological Society of America in Boston, MA. and The NASA
