Experience
In summary, I have 6 years of experience in the field of Geosciences, Environmental and Geotechnical Engineering. I have tutored Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Geology for about a year, and very recently i volunteered tutoring Mathematics and English as a second language in Adult learning Center, Detroit Michigan. Some of my professional accomplishments include but not limited to: • I completed ( i.e. TD) more than 45 Oil wells in appropriate stratigraphic column (Target zone): Burkett, Hot Marcellus, Utica & Point Pleasant formation of Appalachian Basin, Northeastern United States; • I performed environmental impact assessment of Pb, As, Cd, Cr, Se, Al, Ag, Cu, Mn, Zn, etc., using High Volume PM10 (U.S EPA recommended) Air Sampler to collect some plumes of dust particles, release to the environment during deconstruction and demolition of some houses in Detroit Michigan United States, and determined their concentrations by ICP-MS metal analysis method; • Seminary presentation at American Association of Petroleum Geologist (AAPG) International Convention in Houston Texas; • I successfully conducted Phase I & II Environmental Assessment using computer simulated Brownfield Action Software; • I successfully applied the knowledge of Geographic Information System (ArcGIS 10.2) to select the optimal well site in Oakland County Michigan, United States; • I classified and Mapped the Urban Soil of Detroit Michigan, United States; • I applied electrical geophysical method (resistivity meter) to delineate the contact zone between sedimentary and basement complex rock of South Western Nigeria; • I investigated archaeological and environmental site assessment using electrical and electromagnetic geophysical methods and; • I participated in drilling two (2) Production wells and thirty six (36) Observatory wells, for borehole pumping and recovery test.

Hobbies
I want to start out by saying, i'm a person of integrity and respect. I respect people in general, regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion/political belief, opinions and perspectives. I'm fun, i get along with people easily and outgoing. However, sometimes i prefer solitude so as to reflect on things and be able to do some constructing thinking to possibly figure out an answer to some complex situation confronting us in our day-to-day life activities. At my leisure time, i like to play chess, play soccer and work out. So you know, i listen to Blues, Country and Slow songs. I like to travel, meet people and socialize. Never a smoker or drinker, and absolutely has no bias for smokers and drinkers, other than the fact that smoking/drinking is not good for our body. In general, i am very observant by nature, logical and realistic. But however, i would let you guys figure out the rest of me, by the time we get to know each other. I am definitely looking forward to meeting you guys. CHEERS!!!
