I am a professional engineer and have more than 40 years of experience in the mining industry including engineering and operating positions in underground, open-pit and placer operations. I have been a director of Northern Vertex Mining Corp since May, 2010 and served as General Manager of­ their Arizona subsidiary, Golden Vertex Corp. at the Moss Mine near Bullhead City, Arizona until June 2017, when I moved up to President. I have been a self-employed Mining Engineer Consultant since June 1997. I am a strong supporter of a safe, professional, environmentally friendly mining industry and am proud to be a Director of the Arizona Mining Association. I recently became a director of United States Antimony Corporation and look forward in helping them produce more of this critical metal for our economy and security.
