Quote

I grew up in the West, grew up on the land, was educated as a geologist.

I used to dig around the sandbox and pull out pieces of coal and show them to my mother, and she used to say that's how I must have known I was going to be a geologist.

Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.

In my junior year, I studied geology on Saturday mornings at the Museum of Natural History. Mineralogy has always been a major interest.

I get recognized somewhere in between like local meteorologist and national meteorologist.

I'm a medical doctor and a biomedical scientist.

I'm fascinated by the narrative of geology, and I'm a veritable pack rat of a collector on the road. I keep a rock hammer in my car.

My dad was a geologist and my mum was a nurse who directed amateur theatrics.
