NIGEL BROWN

I was born in the UK and moved several times in my youth, following my father's career. After completing my schooling I worked for a couple of years before deciding I really wanted to become a geologist, and was accepted to study geology at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (now Aberystwyth University). After completing my degree I re-entered the UK workforce and a year later left the country to begin my career in petroleum exploration. I worked in the North Sea and Libya, before returning to the North Sea for my safety (it's a long story), and was then relocated to Australia, where I lived and worked for the next 13 years.​
