David Weatherby, RG, LG

David developed a love for geology at a very young age. Growing up in rural western Oregon, his favorite pastime while he was bored (and with only three TV channels back then, David was bored a lot!) was to wander out in the woods with a shovel and start digging holes. David was fascinated by what lay underneath. He had this sense that down in the ground there was an amazing story to be told, if only he could dig deep enough and know how to read the language. That fascination never left, and at the age of 10, David decided he wanted to be a geologist when he grew up. 

Fast forward through seven years of college and more than 30 years into his career, David considers himself very lucky because even though retirement is not that far away, he is not waiting for retirement because he loves what he does. David has had the pleasure of being mentored by amazing scientists and professionals early in his career, and in his later career he has the pleasure of sharing his experience with younger professionals and watching them realize the joys that come with technical and professional growth. 

David loves working with his clients, especially understanding their objectives and problems that need to be solved and leveraging his experience and the experience of his amazing MFA colleagues to solve those problems. Best of all, David’s technical and professional growth is not static; his career continues to challenge him, and David continues to learn from his colleagues at every stage of their careers.
