Buddy studied minerals and rocks since childhood. He holds a B.S., M.S. and PhD in geology with a 40-year career in the petroleum industry. He was inspired to visit the Keweenaw for much of his life by its copper mining history and unique geology. He now is a full-time resident of Eagle Harbor MI and considers himself fortunate to own and care for land he believes is both magical and spiritual. He enjoys the glory of Lake Superior in all types of weather.   Buddy views us as stewards of the land during our lifetimes and that we must preserve and protect the land and waters.
