Beau came to Geo-Marine Tech after a blissful decade of studying geology, geophysics, and rugby at the University of Montana. He was working as an oilfield geologist when he had the good fortune to meet John at a local sporting event. What started out as a rousing geological debate, over a few pints of beer, eventually developed into a dynamic and profitable partnership. Beau has thoroughly enjoyed the challenges met, and friendships forged during his experiences as an offshore geologist.
Having a wide range of interests, Matt came to Geo-Marine Tech with a broad knowledge base, which is particularly deep in the fields of sedimentology and scientific philosophy. His love of the natural world led him to study geology at the University of Montana, where his imaginative and meticulous bends were educated and inspired by a few really great professors and friends. Married now, with two kids, two dogs, and a part-time teaching job, Matt has little time for much else, but he manages to break free now and then to visit the high country.

Following graduation from the University of Montana in early 1979, John Rietman worked as a field geologist under contract to the US Department of Energy. IN 1980 he hired on with CGG as a Party Chief for 3-D seismic crews in Wyoming and Oklahoma. In 1981, John was promoted to Seismic Processing Geophysicist in Denver. John joined Racal Geophysics (Racal Decca) in 1982 where he was responsible for marine seismic data acquisition and marine geo hazard interpretations for the Gulf of Mexico. He later joined Intersea Research Corporation where he continued high resolution geophysical investigations. In 1986, John became a consulting geologist and traveled on numerous marine projects worldwide. After filling up several passports with visa stamps and surviving numerous mergers and acquisitions, he founded Geo-Marine Technology in 1997, in San Diego, California. John brought Geo-Marine Tech to Missoula, Montana in early 2006 to take advantage of the fly fishing, rafting, backpacking, outdoor life, and abundant pool of talented geologists who make Geo-Marine Tech the successful company it is today.
