Document:
Jim received his B.S. in Geology from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and followed up with an M.S. in 1989 and a PhD in 1993 from Florida State. Like most other BugWare paleontologists, Jim studied at the FSU Nannofossil Laborartory. He participated in two Ocean Drilling Program cruises as lead nannofossil paleontologist, Legs 188 and 121 sailing to Prydz Bay Antarctica and the Indian Ocean, respectively.
Jim’s first experience with industry began as a summer intern for Amoco in the summer of 1991. Jim’s academic research was based upon the nannofossil assemblages at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary. Having studied sections from all around the world, Jim is the world’s foremost authority on this subject. He has published 20 articles as lead author, and many more as second author. After graduation with a doctorate in 1993, Jim gained experience as Director/Curator of the Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility at FSU, followed by Visiting Assistant Professorships at UN-Lincoln, Hamilton College, and Washington and Lee University.

In addition to working many wells in the office, he has spent hundreds of days at wellsite on prospects such as Thunderhorse, Mad Dog, Atlantis, and many more.
