Over 40 years experience pursuing my dream projects in business, politics, and finance
My father always said, “Follow your dreams”, but he never explained how. After following his guidance for over 40 years, I have a wealth of experience that can help more people follow their dreams without the steep learning curve. If you have a dream business or project, I would love to help you accomplish your goals!
Career Highlights
I started my first environmental business in 1983 at age 23. My company saved clients millions of dollars worth of water, energy, and maintenance.
In 1990, I co-founded a forest ecosystem protection NGO in Washington DC and led a campaign that helped reverse a devastating federal policy affecting the 200 million acre US National Forest Service. This contributed to an 80% reduction in logging on these public lands, greater profits for private forest holders, and new business opportunities in ecosystem protection and restoration. During this time, I also mentored and trained other environmental leaders throughout the US.
In 2001, I set out to master finance to grow ecologically-beneficial companies and the overall green economy via broad public investor participation and activism. The path was difficult, but I learned and invented financial strategies that can help people grow any size and type of project from idea to fulfillment without taking dangerous financial risks.
In 2007, I designed the world’s lightest and most compact trifold wallet. Selling physical products gave me extensive experience in manufacturing, distribution, and working with big retailers. Today, the business is running better than ever.
In 2010, I took a break from finance and built a consulting and web development practice assisting clients on over 160 projects. I helped grow my last client from nothing more than a good idea and domain name to a thriving information business worth millions of dollars which she sold to a large financial services company.
In 2016, I switched to a vegan diet for my health. This helped me heal numerous illnesses, and the increased mental clarity allowed me to envision solutions to some of the most devastating challenges facing humanity and the planet. In 2018, I started a company called Vegan Launch to focus on developing new financial strategies for the plant-based economy which impacts everything I care about.
By 2023, I decided to start mentoring all types of people (not just vegans) on how to achieve their personal and leadership goals. In addition to mentoring individuals, I aim to hire and train everyday people to lead my flagship projects addressing large swaths of the peace-based economy.
