His most recent tenure was as the president and CEO of a uranium exploration company where he was instrumental in the formation of a four-company syndicate known as the Western Athabasca Syndicate. With over 700,000 acres of land in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada it is one of the largest uranium prospective landholdings.

Immediately prior to this, he was the vice-president, corporate finance, for a gold exploration company, where he assisted in raising in excess of $20-million over a three-year period.
