I started my first environmental business in 1983 at age 23. My company saved clients millions of dollars worth of water and energy. In 1990, I co-founded a native forest protection NGO in Washington DC that went on to reverse a devastating federal policy affecting the entire US National Forest Service. The environmental policies I and others helped create during this time led to new business opportunities in ecosystem protection and restoration.

In 2001, I embarked on a journey to master finance to grow ecologically-beneficial companies via broad public investor participation and activism. Since then, I have learned and also invented unique financial strategies that can benefit any business founder or project leader.

In 2007, I wanted to express my artistic side, and invented and started selling the world's lightest and most compact trifold wallet. That business provided me with a tragicomic but comprehensive education in manufacturing, distribution, and selling to big retailers. My fans have inspired me to keep going through thick and thin, and now, years later, the company is running better than ever!

In 2016, I went vegan for my health. The transformation led me to focus my financial and political expertise on the vegan movement which today is working to protect the rights and health of everything I care about: animals, people, and ecosystems.

In 2023, I felt it was time to expand my focus and start mentoring all types of people (not just vegans) on how to achieve their personal and leadership goals.

I believe that if more people follow their dreams, the world will naturally become more peaceful and take care of itself. If you are following your dreams, I would love to help you achieve them!
