In October 2023, I had the privilege of re-connecting with many people I’ve met over the course of my career as a student, scientist, engineer, hydrogeologist. I’ve had the good fortune of working in the hydrogeology profession for my entire career and it seems like it’s a good time to share my perspective on my experiences. I realize that this article is self-indulgent, but I want to share my story, partly because I want to articulate my gratitute for all the mentors and opportunties I’ve had along the way.
Thanks for the history Steve. So interesting to read your summary and look forward to your memoir. I am grateful to you for encouraging me to do a masters when I first met you in in the summer of 1994. Your office was beside my then future supervisor, Emil. Hydrog has been a great career! Oh and btw it was AquaResource…it’s was a pet peeve of someone for us to be called Aqua Resources, lol! I guess you were only at AQR for less than a year before we became Matrix!
Nice write up Steve, and your lessons learned are well said, so true.
Enjoyed reading this Steve. Inspires me to write my own career version in the future
