It is vital for field geologists to collect and work with several assorted types of data. One-, two- and three-dimensional observations must provide reservoir engineers, geologists and geophysicists with specific information. Today's field geologist must communicate with, as well as be prepared to provide, useful data sets in formats appropriate for each standard. Also, today's trained field geologists can provide small- to medium-sized firms affordable access to leading-edge technologies, ideas and innovations utilized by the majors. A handful of graduates from today's geoscience programs meet these criteria.

My expertise is in high resolution siliciclastic sequence stratigraphy and ichnology. Peripheral interests include paleotopography, sediment body geometry, structure, as well as kinematic analysis at regional and sub-regional scales. I received my B.Sc. degree from Southern Methodist University in 1999. Currently, I am in the writing phase of completing my Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Dallas. I have conducted and worked on several field projects in various siliciclastic and carbonate systems in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Grand Cayman, Montana, Offshore Angola, Offshore Gulf of Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming. My current role is as a geologist responsible for evaluating and generating oil and gas prospects for a publically-traded rapidly growing oil and gas exploration and development company. I continue conducting basic geologic and scientific research primarily using outcrop- and core-based data sets, as well as field studies. I am also responsible for writing and delivering a series of stratigraphic papers for publication in refereed technical and scientific journals.
