Professional Summary
I have worked globally in the upstream energy and defense industries in varied geo-services professional positions, including data processing geodesist, mathematician, and geophysicist. I am a US citizen currently residing in Chiang Rai, Thailand. (My wife is a Thai citizen.)
I provide project planning, as well as commercial and operation risk assessment services. As a certified ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System (QMS) Lead Auditor, I apply a systems approach coupled with knowledge sharing to mitigate enterprise risks. W. Edward Deming’s Theory of Profound Knowledge management philosophy is embraced in what I call Knowledge Risk Management.
I enjoy writing / blogging. My marineseismicsurvey.com blogs focus on upstream oil and gas market analysis of the marine seismic streamer geophysical exploration industry, which I believe is indicative of the overall health and trend of the offshore oil and gas industry.
I am a strong advocate against workplace bullying and believe that the most safe and productive workplaces are team oriented, knowledge sharing / learning organizations where trust and civility are always on display and verifiable through positive results. I also write/blog about workplace culture and bullying.
Whistleblowers are often the targets of workplace gang-bullying (mobbing). I was a target of severe workplace mobbing, I believe, because I complained about upper management breach of contractual duty of care and mutual trust and confidence responsibilities, breaches in UK labor laws, and company personnel policy. I believe that I was illegally terminated for blowing the whistle. I articulate and provide evidence as to why I hold these beliefs within my blog post articles. I believe that my public disclosures are protected through the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) and The (Norwegian) Working Environment Act. Victims of workplace wrong-doing by those with entrusted corporate power cannot end corruption themselves. They require government law enforcement intervention to hold corrupt and/or criminal officials accountable.
