December 2013 By Robert Shoup
Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, I was inculcated with a strong
work ethic and a sense of moral responsibility. My father, a CPA, also taught
me that you get out of your profession only what you put into it. Early in my
career, my mentors also taught me the only currency we have as geologists is
our credibility.
