A little about me.
I’ve spent about twenty years in and around mining finance, and somewhere along the way I became a CPA. For six of those years I actually lived at the mine sites (Chile, Guyana, Ecuador), which is also where I learned my Spanish, mostly by getting it wrong out loud until it came out right.
What I care most about is the understanding side of the work, making it my own business to know an operation deeply enough that I can help the investors and owners behind it understand what they actually own. Most days that means moving between the two halves of the job: hands-on inside the business, operationally and technically, and across the table from tier-1 banks and capital markets. The teams I get to do it with are spread across the world. That’s the best part of the job most days, and the hardest part on the rest.
When I’m not working I’m usually with my family, or poking at a side project that probably won’t go anywhere. (Occasionally one does.)

What we’ve gotten done.
The numbers below took whole teams: engineers, lawyers, partners, crews on the ground. I just happened to be the one holding the spreadsheet. Here’s the work I’m proud to have been part of.
Where I’ve worked.
Independent Director · Rocky Shore Gold
TorontoI chair the remuneration committee and sit on audit. Mostly there to ask the boring questions early.
Group CFO · Solgold
Toronto / Ecuador · We raised over $100M of working capital, and another $650M of construction capital committed by Franco Nevada at pre-feasibility stage. The day-to-day was rebuilding corporate finance from the controls up, close to the technical teams and in front of investors, right through to the Jiangxi Copper deal in May 2026.
VP, Finance · Generation Mining
Helped the team with technical studies, the EPCM tender, and a $1B project financing.
CFO & Corp. Secretary · Rockcliff Metals
A true startup. We built governance, compliance and controls from scratch, and sold non-core ground to Kinross along the way.
VP Finance → Interim CFO · Guyana Goldfields
Toronto · Grew into the CFO seat at a TSX gold producer. Refinanced an $80M facility, managed a $160M syndicate, and helped deliver the $250M Aurora mine. Got to ride the same project all the way through: feasibility, project finance, construction, and into operations.
Audit Senior → Manager · PwC
Toronto → ChileStarted in the Toronto firm and transferred to the Chilean firm in 2009. Global mining clients throughout, and where my South American chapter started, with the Spanish picked up on the ground.
On the side, I build.
I’m not an AI company and I’m not trying to become one. I’m a hobbyist who got curious about what these tools could do for the finance work I already know. A few experiments grew legs. Here’s one of them, running live.
MineFin: a weekend project that watches the junior-mining tape so I don’t have to. Illustrative data shown here.
MineFin
liveHow I keep tabs on junior-mining financings as they get announced. It pulls the structured data out of the press releases so I don’t have to.
DeepTech
grew mostSomething I built so I can get through NI 43-101 technical reports faster and pull out the parts that actually matter to me.
Global Financials
earlyStructured financials out of filings, for when I need numbers I can actually compare across companies. Might fold into DeepTech eventually.
Battle City
for funA browser remake of a game I loved as a kid. Not mining, not AI. Just fun.
Let’s talk.
Mining, finance, half-built side projects, or you just want to compare notes. I’d genuinely like to hear from you.
