Born in Spain, raised in Italy, developed in Texas.
Geology? I collected a lot of data cruising on research vessels and walking in the outcrops. Now I scout around the Americas for energy resources to feed this hungry world.

Lucky to have had all my studies covered by grants and fellowships, but I've never being a recipient of a formal "American Award"
