About
I’m Jim Thorson, the Principal of Free Radical Ventures in Denver. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Geophysical Engineering magna cum laude from the Colorado School of Mines. I enjoyed 12 years with Shell Oil in Houston and New Orleans in exploration, development, and applied technology roles. After returning to Denver I joined and then founded firms focused on exploration – from the Gulf of Mexico deepwater to onshore unconventional plays to Alaska. I’ve also formed, grown, and exited an oil company, Pronghorn Operating, with partners.
