I am an economic geologist with broad interests and experience studying primarily porphyry and skarn deposits in the western US. I utilize field observations, petrology, mineral/whole rock chemistry, and geochronology to gain a better understanding of the ore-forming conditions, fluid evolution, and metal deportment of understudied ore deposits, with the goal of providing broader mineral exploration insights. Most recently, I worked as a project geologist in the mineral exploration industry where my main duty was logging core.
