Peter Graham is Canadian by birth and graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology. Most of his 50 year professional career was in coal geology while working for several major coal mining companies, and with the Energy division in the Canadian federal government.
Most of his work came in Canada but he did several international
work assignments. He also gained work experience in coal bed methane exploration and development. This is where he discovered heat coming from deeper wells. This led him on a journey in to all things geothermal.
