Darius Le Gall; President, GF6 Operator

Mr. Le Gall graduated from College of Marin in 1986 with an associate degree in physical science.

In 2018 he was approached by a third generation well driller and was introduced to seismoelectric groundwater exploration. He met the developer of the GF6 who demonstrated the accuracy and reliability of the system. He then purchased the necessary equipment and went into business helping people find groundwater so they could drill a water well.

Mr. Le Gall meets clients and conducts the fieldwork.
