A Bachelor of Science degree was earned while attending MSU at Morehead, Kentucky. I completed my Master of Science thesis in geology at EKU in Richmond, Kentucky. Then I joined the US Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and retired After 28 years. For approximately 26 years, I taught Introduction to Geology courses at colleges in Cumberland, Kentucky, and Wise, Virginia. Presently I am a coal miner instructor and a coal mining consultant.
