"The highest form of ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about."
-Dr. Wayne Dyer "Your Erroneous Zones"
 
If you go to work and do the same thing everyday or have been doing the same thing for many years, I am sorry, all the success and happiness of my life has been derived from the great diversity of work and career abilities I have discovered over 33 years, but it is also relative to the simplicity I maintain in my life. I feel good to be able to walk with confidence through a Caracas barrio or attend a formal supper at the Ritz Carlton, and the fact that I constantly transverse all of the social classes as I need to to fit in to function and succeed, I go where most fear to tread. I have been a reverend, sailor, cable installer, think tank participant, tree farmer, and entrepreneur among other careers.
 
This page will answer a few questions people frequently ask me.
 
What is a gringo doing in Venezuela?
About the plan to develop the Amazon rain forest?
Access to my curriculum vitae.
A Wikipedia biography about me.
Other business and personal interests.
 
I work and live in Venezuela because I became tired of the monotony and repression of my spirit through demands imposed upon me by the American capitalist system, but really there are a lot more reasons than that. It's nothing to discuss here though.
 
I have been in Venezuela for seven years adjusting my lifestyle and adapting to the Latin American way of life, all to good result and immense happiness which I have found in living life in general, and simpler than ever. I am no longer subject of any government and have discovered genuine freedom of thought and have found abilities I never knew I had, the best part is the ability I have discovered to help people and the environment at the same time and have come to define myself (unsure as to why I need to, but people demand a definition) as an Eco-socialist.

Leading a Simple Life and doing Good Deeds
... recognition and reward follow naturally.
 
I just finished a position as a confidential foreign policy analyst for the Obama campaign, and made many influential friends. I have my own priorities though, I am hard headed, want to do what I feel is important, and lead my own agendas. Here in Venezuela I seek to create a number of productive programs in the Bolivar and Amazon regions of the country in interest of social reform and goodwill among people that will result in the advancement of medicine, agriculture, rural development, intentional community establishment, job creation and eco-tourism through the organization I co-founded, Fundacion Panamericana.
 
Amazon Development
 
These concepts and others I am refining to be able to teach people living in the remote regions of Venezuela how to protect their environment and still be able to become part of a global economy and earn a good living. Much of their lives they have depended on strictly gathering and in many cases plundering natural resources both flora and fauna. The plan is in a confidential stage at this point and will be published once I have the human support and details perfected. Some of the cooperative industries being incorporated are listed below.
 
Seeking Intelligent Good Willed People to Help
 
I am seeking people from all over the world who have interests in areas similar to my own because the programs I seek to establish need good hearted people and people knowledgeable in a number of fields. Many of the more brilliant and educated people left Venezuela since the government changed several years ago stating that they felt oppressed by the new social reforms that were established, I think they were just devastated that the president here opposed capitalism. I hear everyone going on about the current president here, but at the same time I have learned to adapt and have discovered many new opportunities that have been left wide open to those who seek success. I am quite the optimist.
 
I look forward to many new opportunities I see developing between Venezuela, the United States in the coming months and invite people to communicate with me in person if they live here in Caracas and have the foresight to do business in the areas of agriculture and the environment as we enter this bold new time of ecosocialism with the brilliant new teams that are being developed.
