Statement
When I first came to Houston I attended the HGS dinner
meetings, short courses, and networking events. At these I made
friends and expanded both my technical geological knowledge
and practical understanding of the petroleum industry. I have
been an active volunteer in the HGS since 1986 when I joined
the HGS bulletin committee. Being a volunteer on various
committees behind the scenes in the HGS has been wonderful. I
have gained a varied and practical background in how the HGS
functions. The events and activities of our society run the gamut
of very technical, like the conferences, short courses, and dinner meetings to the more social networking like the Museum
Guest Night, skeet tournament, and Shrimp Peel. The HGS
also finances scholarships, educational awards, and engages in
community educational activities. The HGS has always been a
diverse community of people of different ethnicities, skills, ages,
interests, and backgrounds. I am very honored to run as Treasurer
for the HGS. If you elect me I will diligently do my best to serve
our HGS community to the best of my ability and with all my
HGS experience.
