I was born in Tennessee and grew up in Poland, OH, near Youngstown. 1981年，我完成了地质科学学士学位，主修水文学。 1983年，我在Moid Ahmad博士的指导下完成了对油井设计和效率的研究，获得了地质科学硕士学位。 研究结果于1984年在约翰内斯堡举行的国际地下水会议上提出。
I started my career with Shellnbsp;in New Orleans in 1983 as a geophysicist. Initial assignments included Gulf of Mexico exploration and processing. I moved to seismic acquisition in 1986, eventually becoming Party Chief of the R/V Shell America, the most advanced seismic vessel of that time. In 1991, I moved back into interpretive and leadership assignments that ranged from rank exploration to field developments and redevelopments.
In 2000, I transferred to The Hague to take a role in the Shell flagship project Sakhalin II. This posting culminated in the position of Chief Geoscientist for Shell Russia with significant travel to Moscow and Sakhalin Island. I returned to the United States in 2007 as the Development Team Leader for Alaska. In 2009, I moved to Exploration as the Geophysical Coordinator, Appraisal Lead for the deep water Appomattox discovery (2010-2013), Appraisal Manager (2013-2014), Mesozoic Exploration Manager (2014-2017), and Paleogene Exploration Manager (2017-2020). After 37 years with Shell, I retired in 2020 as the most successful Gulf of Mexico explorer from 2010-2020.
I worked with the Geological Sciences Department to establish the Alumni Board in 2008 and co-founded the Yeats-Smith-Nance Field Camp Endowment along with the Moid U. Ahmad Hydrologic and Environmental Studies Endowment. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and adventurous travel.
