Hi, this is Mike Edwards. My oil and gas career spans four decades. Beginning as a field landman before various promotions where I worked in acquisitions, legal, government relations, community and public relations, and finally investor relations. Besides many years living and working in Santa Barbara, I spent considerable time on boats in the channel going to and from platforms. I was also very fortunate to join the UCSB Marine Research team in a two-person mini-sub and saw the abundant sea life on and at the bottom of Platform Gale in 740 feet of water.
