His research at the University of Texas was on application of information theory to seismic data enhancement. With Atlantic he worked as observer, party chief of the company experimental crew, seismologist, research engineer and technical supervisor of the Geophysical Laboratory. Since joining GSI in 1961, he has been chief resarch engineer, director of engineering, and its current manager of technical marketing with major interest in GSI's international operations.
