Bill is originally from the USA (well actually California or ‘South Canada’.  Failing to find work in the USA or other places, he came to work with CSIRO doing gold mineralisation and faulting for a Post Doc position but never went home!  He worked for CSIRO for 7 years doing fault zone work, rock fracture work, and also with IT and database people ‘the structure, syntax, and character of geological and geophysical data’.

He moved on to do 10 years at Fractal Graphics, Fractal Geoscience etc. After a few years off and after Fractal closed, he transferred to the other side – 10 years with oil and gas giants doing ‘geomechanics’.

Bill’s now enjoying the possibility of getting back to minerals, and has come to talk about the GoldCorp Challenge, which he was involved in with Fractal graphics in about 2000.
