The front page of this site is my current weblog. Past entries are saved in one of two archives:

1. Broken Links: old posts on the oil & gas and seismic exploration industries.
2. Stale Thoughts: other stuff.

I am an exploration geophysicist and a VP (velocity picker) at Fusion Petroleum Technologies. My interests include reservoir characterization, geophysical model building, seismic imaging and depth migration, seismic attribute extraction and analysis, and hydrocarbon exploration. If you would like to know more about my professional history, download a copy of my CV.

I was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, the heart of Cajun Country. I attended college in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, then Austin, Texas. For the past seventeen years, I have lived in The Woodlands, Texas.

I am married to Cynthia Muse Kessinger, whom I have known since I was 15 years old. Cindy is a CPA with her own practice in The Woodlands and the mother of our two sons, Christopher and Kenneth.
