M. David Campbell holds a B.S. in Geology and Hydrogeology from Texas A&M University (1993). Prior to and during his undergraduate studies, he gained extensive hands-on field experience working with drilling and environmental consulting firms across multiple states, including an early role as a geological field assistant in Alaska.

Mr. Campbell’s career spans environmental consulting, hydrogeology, mine permitting, and project management across the United States, Australia, and internationally. As Program Manager for I2M Consulting, LLC, he fulfills a broad range of technical and management responsibilities — from directing field investigations and supervising drilling and sampling programs to groundwater modeling, website/database construction, and GIS mapping.

Among his project highlights, Mr. Campbell served as the lead permitting specialist for a magnetite mining development in northeast Queensland, Australia, where he was based in Townsville for eight months. His work involved a comprehensive review of applicable laws and regulations, coordination with government regulatory agencies, and preparation of a Mineral Development License (MDL) application for an active exploration property with magnetite, copper, silver, and gold resources.
