Born in the Territory of Alaska, I've been all over the world, even managed to get back up to Alaska in the commercial fishing industry, I lived in West Berlin when the Wall was built, and moved to Albuquerque, NM. I joined the Navy and went off to Vietnam, graduated from the Defense Department Information Specialist School, and became a newspaper editor-in-chief of a 12 page weekly paper. I finished my hitch, later joined the Army, went to Fort Benning, GA, and Officer Candidate School, served at Battery, Battalion and Brigade command levels, went to Germany and earned the Army Commendation Medal.

I will be moving to Ashland, OR, to buy properties in the area to turn them into food forest farm sites where we will build the homegrown natural rubber industry that America needs to replace our Asian imports of 1.5 million tons per year. There are 15,000 acres available near Ashland for sale at this time.

I will be working closely with Allan Olbur, Chairman, Green Technology Global https://greentechnologyglobal.com to build a natural rubber industry for America to end our dependence on annual Asian imports. Our sites will showcase systems from GTG to produce power with syngas biofuel, derived from non-food biomass converted to heat, biochar, and syngas biofuel with the containerized ‘Chartainer’ from https://allpowerlabs.com. GTG offers their Portable Turbine Energy (PTE) units that can be tuned to produce five or twenty megawatts of power, gigawatts when units are linked. The PTE can use a broad range of fuels and biofuels.

www.marketwatch.com gave a global natural rubber valuation of $40 Billion in 2020, and $86.5 Billion for2026, as global demand increases with more countries using natural rubber to produce products.

The sales team at www.24tons.com has eagerly stated they will be able to sell all raw natural rubber we will produce on our farm sites. GTG already as outtake agreements for the natural rubber we will produce..

My project will showcase new tech and materials to show all nations that we will be able to provide clean energy, food and water, for the generations to come, with a gentle footprint on the living land.

We will work closely with Food Forest Abundance and their Freedom Farm Academy to help people to grow their own food. https://foodforestabundance.com
